In manufacturing FP&A, I’ve learned this simple rule:


What you measure determines the health of the entire factory.

After spending years inside manufacturing P&Ls, 
I’ve seen the same pattern over and over again:
➡️ Teams drowning in data
➡️ Leaders chasing the wrong numbers
➡️ Plants “improving” KPIs that don’t move profit

So I created a breakdown of the 15 KPIs every FP&A leader, plant manager, and ops executive should track with:
✅ Exact formulas
✅ What each KPI actually reveals
✅ How to fix issues before they hit the P&L
