For the people who make things. Its tiles are WIP value (the value of material currently tied up in orders in production), Completed output, Variance (material issued against the standard cost of what came out — positive is unfavourable), and Open work orders.
Its charts are an output trend — target against completed, so a shortfall shows as a gap, not a surprise — and variance by segment, by product and then by warehouse or status. The grid below is the Work Orders list. Read the variance with the WIP tile beside it: on orders still open, the variance figure includes work in progress; it becomes a true verdict on an order when the order completes.
