Factory Dashboard for Manufacturing
TEKADA structures Factory Dashboard for Manufacturing to present decision-oriented production, material, quality, maintenance, and delivery exceptions from trusted source transactions.
The system boundary prioritises Item and revision, BOM and routing, Work order, Material lot or serial and integration with ERP, MES, WMS or inventory.
How TEKADA can help
Factory Dashboard for Manufacturing should help teams present decision-oriented production, material, quality, maintenance, and delivery exceptions from trusted source transactions, with evidence against Item and revision, BOM and routing, Work order, Material lot or serial and KPIs such as Schedule attainment, Material shortage response time, First-pass yield.
Factory Dashboard for Manufacturing.
We map processes, data, controls, integrations, and KPIs so the solution fits the way your team actually works.
Demand and production planning
Capture source identity, quantity, status, user, and receiving evidence at the first controlled event.
Material receiving and inspection
Preserve location, batch, setup, or condition context before the next transaction takes place.
Store and line-side supply
Verify eligibility, material status, revision, and ownership before an issue or movement is accepted.
Work-order execution
Record execution status, user or device, quantity, timestamp, and exceptions at the source.
Quality and exception handling
Link quality results, holds, defects, rework, or disposition to the affected operational object.
Finished-goods release and reporting
Close the flow with genealogy, reconciliation, release evidence, and management visibility.
Data that should remain traceable
- Item and revision
- BOM and routing
- Work order
- Material lot or serial
- Quality status
- Finished-good lot
Controls the design should enforce
- Metric definition and owner
- Source-system lineage
- Exception threshold
- Release only approved master data
- Record who moved or changed material
- Separate good, hold, reject, and rework status
- Reconcile production output with material consumption
| System boundary | Relevant integrations | KPIs to baseline |
|---|---|---|
| present decision-oriented production, material, quality, maintenance, and delivery exceptions from trusted source transactions | ERP · MES · WMS or inventory · Quality/test data · Maintenance data | Schedule attainment · Material shortage response time · First-pass yield · WIP ageing · Output versus plan |
Outcomes the implementation should create.
In Manufacturing, three operational risks to control are: Plan changes do not reach execution quickly; Material status differs between system and floor; and Quality holds are tracked outside the transaction flow.

- Problem
- Plan changes do not reach execution quickly
- Approach
- Start with one product family from material receipt through work-order completion, with clear baseline data for shortage, WIP, quality, and output. Start with one daily management meeting and build only the KPIs and drill-downs required to make its recurring decisions.
Choose the approach based on operational fit.
Not every requirement needs a custom build. This comparison helps define a realistic boundary.
| Approach | Best when | Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Standard product | Processes fit available features | Faster, but process change may be required |
| Configured solution | Workflows need rules and integrations | Balances speed and fit |
| Custom software | Unique processes create competitive advantage | Requires governance and product ownership |

01What is Factory Dashboard for Manufacturing?+
Factory Dashboard for Manufacturing is a TEKADA solution.
It focuses on Factory Dashboard for Manufacturing focused on how to present decision-oriented production, material, quality, maintenance, and delivery exceptions from trusted source transactions.
Critical data includes Item and revision, BOM and routing, Work order, Material lot or serial..
Final scope depends on processes, data, users, integrations, security, and target outcomes.
02Who should consider Factory Dashboard for Manufacturing?+
It is relevant for operations, IT, engineering, quality, supply-chain, and management teams in Manufacturing that need traceable transaction control and decision visibility. Discovery confirms the problem, priorities, and implementation boundaries before development starts.
03Can it integrate with existing systems?+
Yes. Integration can use APIs, databases, files, webhooks, middleware, barcode devices, or other available and authorised interfaces.
04Must the full scope be implemented at once?+
No. TEKADA recommends phased implementation starting with a high-value workflow or bottleneck, then expanding after data and adoption are stable.
05How much does it cost and how long does it take?+
Pricing and timeline depend on scope, users, modules, integrations, migration, devices, security, training, and support requirements. An estimate follows discovery.
