K is for KPIs

Greatness—mythical or manufacturing—doesn’t happen by accident. In this episode of The ABCs of TrakSYS, K is for KPIs, where we explore how the right performance indicators guide manufacturers toward operational excellence.

Just as Hercules faced his legendary labors, manufacturers face their own modern challenges: optimizing throughput, minimizing downtime, improving quality, reducing waste, and coordinating complex operations. You don’t need a lion pelt or mystical satyr as your guide—you just need clear visibility into the metrics that matter.

TrakSYS provides real-time, contextualized KPIs across your entire operation, including:

• yield and quality performance
• downtime and availability
• OEE and asset effectiveness
• cycle times and throughput
• material consumption and waste
• shift, line, and plant comparisons

With accurate, real-time intelligence, manufacturers can pinpoint bottlenecks, uncover root causes, validate improvements, and fuel continuous improvement initiatives. KPIs become more than numbers—they become a strategic roadmap to achieving world-class performance.

TrakSYS for KPIs — because even the greats need a helping hoof now and again.
