Management uses dashboards with critical KPIs to provide minute-by-minute real-time indicators, ensuring that processing is working smoothly. Drill down reports provide work statistics like workload, cycle times, and production numbers that can be used to adjust staffing, identify where workflow interventions are needed, reassign work, provide training, and support performance reviews.
