Developing KPIs for Manufacturing Team Performance
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are vital tools for enhancing manufacturing processes, acting as benchmarks for driving productivity, quality, and efficiency. Notable KPIs include Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and First Pass Yield (FPY), both of which measure production efficiency and output quality. However, to fully exploit these KPIs, Production Managers must clearly define these measures and ensure they align with team activities and company objectives. The process of setting KPIs should follow the SMART criterion, meaning they should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound. Implementing a robust tracking system, such as a Manufacturing Execution System (MES), aids in real-time tracking of these KPIs. Regular review of KPIs, good communication and feedback within the team are all crucial for continual growth and performance improvement.
