Why Power BI

Manufacturing Power BI Dashboards Help You

Improve Visibility
Complexity of locations, product lines, suppliers, processes, and data disparity can frequently interfere with management goals and value-creation strategies. Blue Margin’s Modern Data Warehouse design and rapid-iteration dashboards address the sheer overload of manufacturing data and begin delivering automated, actionable insights in 2-4 weeks, without disrupting operations.

Align Your Teams
Improve outcomes with automated, on-time KPIs critical to optimizing focus and prioritization. Surface metrics and benchmarks that “touch-the-nerve” to improve accountability and processes from the boardroom to the shop floor.

Increase Utilization
Our dashboards provide automated accountability to achieve employee- and machine-utilization goals. We’ll help you shine light on utilization variances, on-time delivery, quality assurance, cost control, and production efficiency.

Optimize Inventory
Blue Margin’s dashboard tools help optimize inventory to improve order fulfillment and cash flow. Actionable insight into inventory keeps supply in sync with orders and demand-forecast focused for velocity.

Streamline Supply Chain
Industry-proven data management brings greater control to supply-chain optimization. Manufacturing HQ helps maximize order-to-cash efficiency, and increases organizational focus on points of constraint.

Improve Quality Control
We’ll incorporate use-cases, business requirements, and performance measures with industry-tested analytics that improve quality control. Expand your ability to map benchmarks and KPIs to the processes and people accountable to QC outcomes.

The greatest impact has been on the manufacturing side. The Efficiency and Utilization Report eliminated a workbook with multiple data sources. We used to generate that report once per month, limiting our ability to react. We do it daily now. We adjust as we go, making our response much closer to the actual event, which has increased production
