Dashboard Lights — Dickeson

We still look at Budgeted Hourly Rates tied to factory labor costs because that’s our tradition—the way we’ve always done things around here. We’ll have to break that habit. But old habits die hard, don’t they? Just try putting your shoes on before your underwear some time.

When we’re ready, perhaps we’ll first try a page of eight graphs in an Excel workbook linked to data pages of 13-week rolling sets of those metrics. The graphs should automatically change each week as we add and delete a week from the linked rolling quarter of data. This way we’re coming close to a Dashboard-like thing for our printing plant.
