Safety
Incidents, hazards, observations and overdue corrective actions.
Manufacturing Performance Management
Digital Shop Floor Management System
Make performance visible. Make action unavoidable.
SQDCIP turns daily operational data into one clear management rhythm — connecting Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, Inventory and People with ownership, action and escalation.
Designed for manufacturing, operations and multi-site
performance management.
Manufacturing KPI Framework
SQDCIP: Six dimensions. One view of the truth.
SQDCIP brings the measures that matter into the same daily management conversation — from the shop floor to plant leadership.
Quality
FPY, defects, scrap, complaints and process deviations.
Delivery
OTD, plan attainment, backlog and schedule adherence.
Cost
Scrap, overtime, downtime, waste and cost variance.
Inventory
WIP, stock-outs, ageing, accuracy and material availability.
People
Engagement, absenteeism, training, retention and skill gaps.
What is SQDCIP?
A common operating language for manufacturing.
SQDCIP stands for Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, Inventory and People. It is a digital daily management framework that helps manufacturing organizations connect operational KPIs with ownership, actions and escalation.
Instead of disconnected spreadsheets, static boards and separate reports, SQDCIP creates a consistent visual management system from the frontline production team through plant leadership.
Digital Daily Management
Your manufacturing KPI board should tell you what to do next.
SQDCIP is designed around the daily management rhythm — yesterday's result, today's risk, the owner, the action and the escalation path.
- Live manufacturing performance visibility
- Targets and thresholds by KPI
- Problems linked directly to actions
- Clear ownership and due dates
- Tier-based problem escalation
