Dashboards and reporting systems are only as good as the data input. Where they extract data automatically this is fine and time-saving but it is interpretation of data that is key rather than presentation. Where a company has cost in mind 100%, little or no value will be attached to dashboard reporting from a Technical view. Where a company has cost 100% in mind, reporting from a production point of view so they can understand where downtime has occurred etc. is key.
Hi Julie, thanks for the feedback!
That’s a really good point – typically its the cost related KPIs that matter the most to management in the end. It’s actually an interesting idea that as a quality manager you might be able to have more influence over the upper management if you could link food safety data more strongly to economic data. Unfortunately it’s not that easy.. until the recall happens of course.
