Tableau for Manufacturing

SAMPLE TABLEAU DASH BOARDS AND USE

CASES FOR MANUFACTURING
1. OEE Plant Machinery Dashboard

This dashboard essentially capture the equipment level details in dimension such as Equipment Category,
Equipment Working Status (Idle, Pause, Working etc.). This data in turns helps us compute the overall Equipment
Operational Efficiency for a particular equipment.
KPI’s and metrics, the end user are interested in:
OEE = Performance * Quality * Availability (for an equipment)
To compute OEE all the individual metrics of the batch such as:
• Performance (determined by the Rated speed of an equipment vs. the actual speed).
• Availability (computed based on the running time by total time for the equipment).
• Quality (Taken as a constant (100%) in this particular case) is usually has a list of metrics which needs to be
quantified based on which the completed quality for the batch is decided.
1. OEE Plant Machinery Dashboard
On clicking/selecting an equipment, the end user is taken to a detailed dashboard of
that particular
equipment in the selected date range.
Further selecting a particular Day from the Equipment Availability Trend Shows the day level data for the chosen
equipment.
2. Lead Time Analysis
This dashboard records the time spent by each batch in various stages of manufacturing (such as Sifting, Blending,

Compression, Coating & Packaging) and also the time each batch spends in between each function. This overall

picture helps us pinpoint the bottlenecks in the process of manufacturing also highlighting the Turn Around time
for the complete as well as individual processes.

The KPI’s as mentioned above are majorly based upon the functional processes involved in manufacturing. Such as
a. Avg. Time taken by Batches in each process individually. Sum of these averages gives us the Avg. Processing Time.

b. Similarly Average Wait Time by batches is computed by finding out the time Batches have been waiting in front of each individual process. Sum of
these averages gives the Avg. Wait Time
c. Avg. Processing Time + Avg. Wait Time = Total Cycle Time.

This helps the business keep track of the bottleneck by tracing the value of the averages against the standard values.
On Selecting a particular Function block such as Sifting or Coating etc. the user is taken to a detailed dashboard for
the chosen function.
3. CTO Capacity Utilization
The main aim of the dashboard is to map the standard time allotted to each batch of a particular product against
their actual, which indicated the overall utilization % for each of the batches.

KPI’s and metrics, the end user are interested in:

Here the main KPI’s being used are:

• BCF (Batch Charge Frequency, is the avg. frequency or time taken to start the next batch of the same product)
• BCT (Batch Changeover time, indicated the avg. time taken to completed a single batch).

Additionally Yield% is also computed at the batch level to make sure along with the pace the quality output
generated by the system is not hampered.
Production Planning

Production KPI Monitor

● High level overview of critical plant KPIs
● Executives would walk the plant floor, using this
dashboard on their iPads / mobile devices to
understand key metrics in each area, then drill into a
given KPI to explore and analyze why a metric is up /
down
● Value Drivers

○ Provides management real-time visibility

○ Ensure production targets are met
Production Planning

Production sequence &

model mix
● Analyze production sequence to improve flow &
quality
● Identify different model mix combinations (e.g.
color, motor type, trim levels, special products) that
negatively affect the products overall build time and
quality levels
● Value Drivers

○ Identify inefficiencies in the production sequence

○ Improve & sustain high quality /production levels
SC & Inventory Management

Analytics can help companies maintaining Human

a healthy safe work environment Resources
A Fortune 500 retailer created
Tableau Dashboards to address
employee call-ins during the
COVID-19 crisis. They needed a
way to assess overall employee
absenteeism as well as looking at
trends and regional impact.

The Executive Summary is used by

C-level executives to get an
understanding of employee call-
ins, compare to the prior day, and
the 7-day average. They can see
this data across the entire
organization, division, market, all
the way to the store level.

stick with creating complex warehouses and
churning data to produce reports and tabular
spreadsheets. This would have hampered our ability
to make quick decision using real-time insights.
