Understanding Manufacturing Scorecard

Manufacturing Scorecard supports the plan, source, make, deliver, and return business processes.

Manufacturing Scorecard data tables reside in PeopleSoft EPM, which serves as a data repository that can include data from other PeopleSoft applications and other legacy systems, enabling you to source the supply chain, supplier, and customer data that you need. Manufacturing Scorecard leverages the functionality of the Scorecard to manage and measure key performance indicators and communicate strategic direction and results to your organization.

A scorecard is the visual representation of the objectives that your organization is striving to achieve. The scorecard's foundation is a strategy tree that is comprised of hierarchical nodes of strategy components. Manufacturing Scorecard delivers the Manufacturing scorecard (MFG_SCORECARD).

Strategy components are the elements that make up your strategy, and are the nodes on your strategy tree or tables. Vision, strategic thrusts, and critical success factors are all strategy components, and represent the goals that your manufacturing organization is trying to achieve. KPIs, which measure how well an organization is achieving those goals, are attached to scorecard strategy components.

The predefined data components that make up the Manufacturing Scorecard are delivered at installation. After you install the database, setting up and accessing the Manufacturing Scorecard involves setting up PeopleSoft EPM, populating the data warehouse with data, updating several components of the Scorecard, and populating the final reporting tables.

The predefined data components, as delivered, are set up to run with a specific business unit, SetID, model ID, scenario ID, and so on. All of the appropriate security and object IDs are delivered as sample data. If you install the Manufacturing Scorecard to a demo database, you can acquaint yourself with the functionality in a demo environment. Using the delivered scorecard is optional, and you can modify it to suit your implementation. You can use the KPI Data Migration Utility to customize content for the delivered scorecards.

This table lists the field values for this scorecard:

A KPI defines the data value or calculation from the PeopleSoft EPM warehouse tables that is evaluated to determine how well your organization is meeting its critical success factors.

Manufacturing Scorecard delivers a set of preconfigured KPIs that provides your management with the tools necessary to analyze your manufacturing operation against business objectives. These KPIs have been developed in conjunction with leading consultants and measure many factors including reliability, responsiveness, flexibility, and cost. Most of these KPIs are derived or calculated from existing PeopleSoft EPM data elements based on data from the transactional database.

In cases where data values required for generating the KPIs cannot be derived from PeopleSoft EPM warehouse tables, manual KPIs are provided. Manual KPIs require manual data input.

Manufacturing Scorecard consists of Level 1 KPIs and Level 2 KPIs. Level 1 KPIs are derived from level 2 KPIs. Without level 2 KPIs, level 1 KPIs cannot perform the proper calculations. This dependency is documented in the technical details of the delivered KPIs topic in each KPI table.

The KPI IDs of the delivered Manufacturing Scorecard KPIs are delivered under the SHARE SetID and are associated with each strategy component as described in this table:
