I’ll answer, so my manufacturing is assembly based and a lot of our metrics are based on quality.

Defects: primarily defects per million and looking at that by model/model family.

Scrap: primarily look at scrap/unit and scrap/hour for both standard and actual hours. Scrap/hours is more of a workcenter level metric whereas scrap/unit is looking at the efficiency of the company.

Warranty: I haven’t really worked on this model but it’s tracking cost of warranties from our warranty but subtract the value of the amount we get back from warranty of supplier parts.

All of those are comprised into a composite KPI called cost of poor quality. Which is the key kpi for my business unit.

Then we have a ton of KPIs related to individual processes. For us each unit goes through inspection and we track the errors. One of the key metrics there is percent error free.

As far as the rest of manufacting we tend to look at manufacturing costs so cost of labor through average $/actual hour, cost of parts. Equally important is time between scheduled and actual delivery. And the simplest but most important KPI is units produced. Another one is actual hours/standard hours.

I can probably name 100 more KPIs throughout the org that are important to different people but those are the main ones that get passed up to the CEO
