Bernd Kleindienst, Kristin Samac, Hubert Biedermann
In many companies the performance measurement system has become confusingly complex. Therefore efficient production control and identification of potentials for improvement are not possible. The solution is a lean and customized production performance measurement system. Based on success factors KPIs are developed. These indicators allow it to visualize complex issues in a transparent way. The result is a tool, which helps organizations to plan, monitor, control and improve their performance.

The integration of mechanical, electronical and informational components characterizes modern technical products. These mechatronic systems usually provide high product functionality by which the product complexity is increased.
