Demand-Driven Manufacturing Metrics

Operational metrics that drive action in Demand-Driven Manufacturing environments. Learn more about the Metrics for Action by downloading the Guide. By Synchrono

When it comes to metrics that really matter in driving demand-driven operations, we think less is more. Less conflicting measurements, more focus on actionableoutcomes.

Synchrono® has developed four categories of Demand-Driven Manufacturing operations metrics for action. These are not metrics intended for overall business analysis. Instead, the intent here is to cut through the clutter of the all too often, andall too many, contradicting measurements and focus on the metrics that are going to provide insight to drive action. Action to improve flow, manage constraints, direct continuous improvement effortsand more. The goal is to provide real clarity around the elements that drive organizational excellence and enhance demand-driven results.

In working with hundreds of manufacturers around the globe, we’ve found that the key to monitoring meaningful metrics –and driving desired results –is in making the data universally visible, in real-time, throughout the organization.
