Product

Module of iFAKT Polaris with KPI dashboards across all modules that compare planned and actual values in production.

Description

Polaris Analyzer provides central KPI transparency for iFAKT Polaris. It consolidates key performance indicators from all Polaris modules in dashboards, including lead times, utilization, bottlenecks and project status.

Users can compare scenarios, plans and actual performance in one place. The dashboards also show capacity limits and improvement potential, which helps to decide where changes are worth the effort. Because the Analyzer draws on the data of the other modules, the results of simulation, optimization and shop floor feedback appear side by side instead of in separate reports. Polaris Analyzer is one of the seven modules of iFAKT Polaris and supports the evaluation step of the workflow that starts with data preparation in Polaris Designer and continues through simulation, planning and execution.
