KPI Sort Order

KPI Explorer ranks the results of all KPI drill-downs in the order of least optimal to most optimal values. This lets you identify the lowest performing metrics at a glance.

As a result, KPIs with positive directionality in the configuration (for example, % Quality, where higher values are better) are presented in ascending order. KPIs with negative directionality (for example, Scrap rate, where lower values are better) are presented in descending order.

To view the value of any of the KPI components, you can click  the formula variable that you are interested in. This is often a loss count that contributes to your KPI. When you select a formula variable to display, the loss tree is updated at every breakdown step. The results of the loss tree are sorted in descending order of the selected variable by default.

You can modify the sort order for the loss tree to Variable Ascending to see the results sorted in ascending order of the selected formula variable.

You need to click the formula variable again to reset the loss tree view to display only the KPI values.
