External Manufacturing (Mfg) Attainment - bharath143775/Executive-Metrics GitHub Wiki
๐ญ External Manufacturing (Mfg) Attainment (%)
๐งพ Definition
External Mfg Attainment (%) measures how effectively external manufacturing partners (third-party producers) meet planned production targets โ including quantity, timelines, and sometimes quality.
โ Simple Explanation
It tells you how much of the planned production was actually delivered by an external manufacturer.
100%= Everything planned was produced and delivered as expected.< 100%= Some shortfall in quantity, timing, or other expectations.
This is a key supply chain and vendor performance metric.
๐ Data Required
| Data Point | Description |
|---|---|
| Planned Production Qty | The number of units scheduled to be produced |
| Actual Production Qty | The number of units actually produced and delivered |
Optional: Some companies may include on-time delivery and quality compliance in this calculation.
๐งฎ Formula
External Mfg Attainment (%) = (Actual Production Quantity / Planned Production Quantity) ร 100
๐ง Example
- Planned Production for May =
50,000 units - Actual Delivered =
45,000 units
External Mfg Attainment = (45,000 / 50,000) ร 100 = 90% The external partner achieved 90% of the production plan.
๐ผ Business Context
This metric helps monitor the performance of external manufacturing partners, ensuring:
- Production meets schedule
- Supply reliability
- Risk mitigation against delays
๐ Why It Matters:
- Avoids stockouts or fulfillment delays
- Improves collaboration with third-party vendors
- Supports continuous improvement and performance reviews
๐จ Thresholds and Alerts
| Level | Attainment (%) | Alert Type |
|---|---|---|
| โ Good | 98 โ 100% | No Action Needed โ Fully Met Expectations |
| โ ๏ธ Warning | 95 โ 97.9% | Monitor Closely โ Partial Gap |
| โ Critical | < 95% | Immediate Review โ Supplier Performance Issue |
Trigger alerts when attainment falls below 95% for more than 1 period or drops drastically below trend.
๐ Use in Reporting
- Compare across multiple vendors
- Review trends over time
- Align production planning and forecasting
- Drive accountability in supplier contracts
๐ Strong External Mfg Attainment = Strong supply chain reliability.
