A Lightweight Dynamic Monitoring of Operational Indicators for a Rapid Strategical Awareness

In the era of the 4th industrial revolution, manufacturing companies are digitally transforming their businesses, processes and factories to address the current market demands. Among several opportunities, the dynamic monitoring of strategical indicators assume a crucial importance for the rapid awareness of the adaptation and optimization of a manufacturing process. In particular, the analysis of the effect that the variation of business factors will provoke in the associated performance indicators will allow to take strategical decisions to mitigate the occurrence of condition changes, as well as to optimize the system operation to face business opportunities. This paper describes the deployment of a KPI (Key Performance Indicators) monitoring tool in an industrial factory producing micro-waves, allowing the fast production reconfiguration facing the continuously and rapidly changing market conditions.
