Why it Matters ?

Measures adherence to production plans.

In-depth Use Case / Real-world Example

Production Schedule Adherence measures how closely actual production follows the planned schedule. For example, if a factory planned to produce 1,000 units in a day but only made 900, the adherence rate is (900 / 1,000) × 100 = 90%. A high adherence rate shows effective planning and minimal disruption. If adherence drops, it may indicate issues like equipment failures, supply shortages, or workforce constraints. Companies can use this metric to improve their scheduling systems and anticipate challenges ahead of time, ensuring that production goals are consistently met and customers’ orders are delivered on time.
