Industrial manufacturing operates in a world where production efficiency, quality standards, cost control, safety, and delivery timelines must stay perfectly aligned. However, many manufacturing teams still depend on manual spreadsheets and disconnected reports, which reduces visibility and slows decision-making.
The Industrial Manufacturing KPI Dashboard in Google Sheets is a ready-to-use, structured performance management solution designed to track critical manufacturing KPIs at both month-to-date (MTD) and year-to-date (YTD) levels.
Built entirely in Google Sheets, this dashboard combines KPI definitions, actual performance, targets, and previous-year comparisons into one centralized system—helping manufacturing leaders move from reactive firefighting to proactive, data-driven control.
