Monitoring Performance

One approach is to generate reports consisting of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and balanced scorecards derived from high level planning objectives.  But the utility of such measurements are often diminished because they do not typically reveal the underlying root causes of variances.

With a real-time Operations Intelligence solution, SIMATIC IT XHQ provides you with an integrated set of performance metrics which are also made available at all levels of the business.  These metrics are updated in real-time, making adverse trends and variances known and allowing these deviations to be compensated for prior to any serious impact on the organization's overall objectives.  Anyone with proper authorization can easily "drill down" from the business's overall performance metrics to reveal the contribution of any of the constituent activities driving the metrics.
