Why Most Manufacturing BI Initiatives Fail

Manufacturing teams don’t fail because of Power BI. They fail because the underlying data and processes are fragmented.

Common issues we see across manufacturers

  • Reports that look good but don’t reflect shop-floor reality
  • Different plants reporting different numbers for the same KPI
  • ERP and production data living in silos

The business impact
