Performance Measurements

Organizations often use a performance metrics system that only provides point to point comparisons. For example, the currently monthly profitability of a business might be compared to last month. Any movement that is not desirable often leads to a search for what happened.

This what-happened investigation can result in the treatment of common cause variability as though it were special cause. Wasteful firefighting often is a result of traditional metric report-outs and nothing positive happens relative to making a metric improve over time.

A 30,000-foot-level predictive reporting methodology addresses this traditional metric reporting format shortcoming. With 30,000-foot-level metric reporting, a predictive statement assessment is made. If a process output performance is stable and the futuristic response is undesirable, this metric desirable shortcoming pulls for the creation of a process improvement effort that enhances the measurement’s response.

Enterprise Performance Reporting System (EPRS) software provides a means to easily create 30,000-foot-level report outs. A statistical shift in the time-series portion of a 30,000-foot-level metric is an indicator that the process output changed, either to the betterment or degradation. When this happens a new predictive process statement can then be made using this software.

Probability Plotting for Process Performance: How Distribution Analysis Enables Predictive Insights

A probability plot can be used to quantify process performance through a 30,000-foot-level report-out.  In one chart, a 30,000-foot-level report can include a process stability assessment through an individuals chart(s) and a probability plot to make a predictive statement for process performance. This statistical foundation supports the broader discipline of predictive performance metrics, where organizations

Transforming Individuals Control Chart Data and Process Capability Reporting in One Chart

Transforming individuals control chart data is an important consideration to avoid common cause variability appearing as special cause events.  The transformation of data (for situations that make physical sense) is easily accomplished in 30,000-foot-level tracking metric report-outs, which also can provide a predictive process capability statement — in one chart.
