Manufacturing Intelligence

Governed metrics, deterministic computation, and traceable provenance for every production calculation.

What It Is

The Foundation of Every EKAS Capability

Manufacturing Intelligence is the analytical core of EKAS. It transforms raw production events from your MES, ERP, and shop floor systems into governed, auditable metrics that drive operational decisions.

Every metric calculation in EKAS — OEE, downtime tracking, First Pass Yield, capacity utilization — is executed through versioned SQL logic with full data provenance. No estimation. No interpolation. No black box.

Core Metrics

What Manufacturing Intelligence Calculates

OEE & Equipment Performance

  • Overall Equipment Effectiveness
  • Availability
  • Performance
  • Quality
  • Unplanned Downtime
  • Changeover Time

Quality & Yield

  • First Pass Yield
  • Scrap Rate
  • Rework Rate
  • Defect Density
  • Quality Hold Time
  • Failure Mode Frequency

Cost Attribution

  • Labor Hours by Workcenter
  • Burden Hour Tracking
  • Material Variance
  • Downtime Hour Impact
  • Scrap Unit Tracking
  • Unit Production Time

Capacity & Throughput

  • Available Capacity (OEE-adjusted)
  • Effective Throughput
  • Bottleneck Analysis
  • Utilization by Shift
  • Product Mix Capacity
  • Constraint Identification
How It Works

From Raw Production Data to Governed Metrics

1

Data ingestion from MES/ERP

Production events, quality records, downtime logs, and cost data flow from your existing systems into the EKAS data model.

2

Governed SQL executes calculation

Versioned metric definitions compute performance, quality, and cost metrics using deterministic logic — no estimation or black box calculation.

3

Results return with provenance

Every metric includes the SQL hash, catalog version, data source, record count, and timestamp for full auditability.

Why It Matters

Governed Metrics You Can Trust

Every calculation is versioned and auditable — no surprises when metric definitions change
Full data lineage from production event to final metric — trace every number back to source
Consistent logic across all facilities — multi-site performance becomes comparable
Finance and operations use the same calculation — no more disagreement on OEE or downtime hours
Designed to support IATF 16949 and ISO compliance — traceability and governance by design
Scope

What EKAS Computes and What It Does Not

EKAS computes 91 governed metrics across the ISA-95 hierarchy using confirmed production data. All OEE calculations follow ISO 22400-2 ratio-of-sums methodology — the mathematically correct approach for fleets with differing machine utilisation. Average-of-averages is explicitly prohibited and enforced at the calculation layer.

EKAS does not execute production scheduling, manage work orders, write back to source systems, or make autonomous decisions. Scheduling remains in your MES. Work orders remain in your CMMS. EKAS reads, analyses, and surfaces intelligence. Decisions remain with your team.
