Production Control Dashboard

Successful Deployment How do you avoid it just being another piece of technology? A robust forecast which matches work volumes to resource A strong plan with the right level of detail which has had the key stakeholders engaged in its creation A management team who actively manage against the plan on a short interval basis A simple plan vs actual report which provides quality MI A review structure starting with the individual rolling up to the framework to ensure the questions are being asked

Benefits The tool that facilitates management control Live data Real time issue escalation and management Reduced individuals duplicating effort or spending time on non value adding activities Assisted in the shortening of the interval of control A standardised approach to project planning, management and reporting Facilitated a culture of asking the difficult questions to drive continuous improvement

Benefits – cont’d Sharing with remote teams Team accountability and workload analysis Project Managers who feel in control of their projects without being in the detail A framework focused on the importance of a great plan, with ownership and accountability for delivery at every level Widespread agreement that the predictability & assurity of deliverables has improved
