Manufacturing KPI dashboard
A manufacturing KPI dashboard that measures trapped working capital
Most manufacturing KPI dashboards report throughput, OEE and on-time delivery. None of those tell a CFO how much cash is stranded between a signed order and the moment the factory can start. Peppasync makes that number visible, job by job, and shows exactly which gate is holding it.
The KPIs finance leaders actually need
Trapped pre-production capital
Value committed by customers but still held behind engineering, approval or procurement gates — the single largest hidden cash position in bespoke manufacturing.
Recognition-ready value
Orders that have cleared every pre-production gate and can move to the floor, convert to revenue and be invoiced without rework.
Stage-gate dwell time
How long each job waits at drawing approval, material commitment or programme release — turning a vague delay into a measurable cash cost.
Cash velocity by environment
Days from customer commitment to factory release, tracked per vertical so metal AM, precision engineering, fabrication and HVAC are compared on the same basis.
Exception exposure
Capital sitting behind jobs that have breached a gate threshold, ranked by value so the finance team works the biggest release first.
Release forecast
Projected capital release over the coming weeks, based on current stage positions rather than optimistic delivery promises.
From operational state to capital consequence
Peppasync governs the pre-production state of every bespoke order. Each job sits at a defined stage gate, and each gate carries a value. When a drawing approval slips or a material commitment stalls, the dashboard translates that operational fact directly into a capital figure — so the conversation between operations and finance uses one set of numbers.
- 1. Portfolio view. Every live job, its stage, dwell time and committed value in one control tower.
- 2. Job traveller. Open a single order and see which gate is blocking release and who owns it.
- 3. Capital impact. See the cash effect of that delay, and what clearing it releases.
- 4. CFO roll-up. Aggregate trapped capital, recognition-ready value and release forecast across the whole portfolio.
Built for build-to-order manufacturing
The dashboard ships with stage models for metal additive manufacturing, precision engineering, heavy fabrication and HVAC / engineered building systems. Pick the environment that matches your business and the KPIs recalculate against that stage model.
