In-depth Use Case / Real-world Example
Work-In-Progress (WIP) Trends analyze the movement and status of products that are in the production stage but not yet finished. A high level of WIP can indicate inefficiencies in production or delays. Monitoring WIP trends helps identify bottlenecks, forecast capacity needs, and improve flow through the production system. Reducing excess WIP ensures quicker throughput and optimizes inventory levels.
