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.

Safety

Incidents, hazards, observations and overdue corrective actions.

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

Structure and Consistency in Operational Meetings


SQDCIP does not run the meeting for the moderator

Instead, it provides the framework, sequence, and tools needed to conduct it consistently and efficiently. The agenda, KPIs, deviations, open issues, actions, and responsibilities are structured within a clear and standardized workflow, ensuring that every meeting follows the same logic and remains focused on what matters most. The moderator is guided step by step through the management routine, while keeping track of the allocated time, priorities, and actions that need to be followed up. In this way, SQDCIP helps transform daily management meetings into a standardized, predictable, and results-oriented process, supporting operational discipline and team accountability.
