KPI Categories
Production KPIs
| KPI | Definition | Target |
|---|---|---|
| OEE | Equipment effectiveness | >85% |
| Throughput | Units per hour | Per plan |
| Yield | Good units / Total units | >99% |
| Cycle Time | Time per unit | At takt |
Quality KPIs
| KPI | Definition | Target |
|---|---|---|
| First Pass Yield | Pass first time | >98% |
| Defect Rate | Defects per million | <1000 |
| Scrap Rate | Scrap cost % | <1% |
| Customer Complaints | Per period | Trending down |
Delivery KPIs
| KPI | Definition | Target |
|---|---|---|
| On-Time Delivery | % shipped on time | >98% |
| Lead Time | Order to ship | Per commitment |
| Schedule Attainment | Actual vs. plan | >95% |
| Backlog | Past due orders | Zero |
Dashboard Design Principles
Information Hierarchy
- Key metrics (big numbers)
- Trends (charts)
- Details (tables)
- Drill-down (links)
Visual Best Practices
- Use color meaningfully (RAG status)
- Minimize clutter
- Consistent layout
- Clear labels
- Real-time updates
Alert Configuration
| Level | Threshold | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Info | Near target | Monitor |
| Warning | Below target | Investigate |
| Critical | Significantly below | Immediate action |
Dashboard Layers

Create and manage production Grafana dashboards for real-time visualization of system and application metrics. Use when building monitoring dashboards, visualizing metrics, or creating operational observability interfaces.
Matplotlib
Foundational plotting library. Create line plots, scatter, bar, histograms, heatmaps, 3D, subplots, export PNG/PDF/SVG, for scientific visualization and publication figures.
Scientific Visualization
Create publication figures with matplotlib/seaborn/plotly. Multi-panel layouts, error bars, significance markers, colorblind-safe, export PDF/EPS/TIFF, for journal-ready scientific plots.
Seaborn
Statistical visualization. Scatter, box, violin, heatmaps, pair plots, regression, correlation matrices, KDE, faceted plots, for exploratory analysis and publication figures.
Shap

Use this skill when explaining machine learning model predictions, computing feature importance, generating SHAP plots (waterfall, beeswarm, bar, scatter, force, heatmap), debugging models, analyzing model bias or fairness, comparing models, or implementing explainable AI. Works with tree-based models (XGBoost, LightGBM, Random Forest), deep learning (TensorFlow, PyTorch), linear models, and any black-box model
