VDL ETG Almelo is in the start-up phase of a new production department. The department will produce machines with a relatively long lead time. The production leader wants a KPI dashboard to make it easier to steer the production process on a daily basis. This research led to a design and prototype of the dashboard.

 VDL strives for a bottom up management approach. The mechanics should be able to use the dashboard to steer the production process. The easier steering should result in a higher productivity and quality over time. The data on the dashboard is presented in a visual way on basis of key performance indicators. The mechanics are able to steer on more different areas than before. This KPI dashboard is a valuable addition to the production process.
