Executive Dashboard
Executives don't need every data point. They need the right ones. ProAlert's Executive Dashboard surfaces organization-level OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) rollup, asset profitability by line, and system health indicators in a single role-gated view built for the people who own the outcomes... not the technicians who execute them. Cross-plant visibility without requiring a separate login or report request for each facility.
The bottom line: The question a VP of Operations asks is not "what was Press 4's OEE at 2pm?" It's "which lines are making money and which are bleeding it?" ProAlert's Executive Dashboard answers that question in one view, without requiring the executive to navigate per-asset data or wait for the analyst's Thursday morning report.
Why Executives Don't Use Most Manufacturing Dashboards
-
Asset-level dashboards require too much context to interpret.A dashboard showing OEE for each of 40 assets, each requiring context about what product was running, what shift, what the target was, and what the trend is... creates decision paralysis, not decision clarity. Executives need the rollup, not the drill-down. Drill-down is for the reliability engineer who already knows what to look for.
-
Profitability data requires a finance team export.Asset operating cost, maintenance cost, and revenue-per-unit data typically live in an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) or finance system that doesn't connect to the OEE platform. Answering "is Line 3 profitable?" requires a finance analyst to pull data from two systems and build a model. By the time the answer arrives, the question has been replaced by a different one.
-
Multi-plant visibility requires multiple logins.A corporate VP overseeing three plants typically needs three separate logins to three separate systems to see the same OEE and maintenance data. Cross-plant comparison requires a manual compilation... usually a weekly spreadsheet that's out of date before it's distributed.
-
Sensitive profitability data visible to all users is a governance problem.Revenue per asset, cost per unit, and asset profitability data should not be visible to operators and technicians navigating the same dashboard as plant managers and executives. Without role-gating, either the profitability data gets removed from the system, or it becomes visible to everyone... neither of which is acceptable.

Asset Profitability: The Question Most Platforms Can't Answer
Profitability per asset is calculated from data already in the ProAlert database... no external data source required. The calculation draws on asset cost fields, maintenance cost from CMMS work orders, production cycle counts, and revenue-per-unit configuration.
| Data Input | Source | Drives |
|---|---|---|
| Hourly operating cost | Asset cost analysis field (configured in Admin) | Operating cost per shift, per month, per year |
| Maintenance labor and parts cost | CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) work orders (actual labor hours x rate + parts used x cost) | Total maintenance spend per asset over any time period |
| Production output | OEE cycle count data from EdgeSense or manual entry | Units produced per period... the denominator for cost-per-unit calculations |
| Revenue per unit | Asset configuration field or product-level configuration | Revenue contribution per asset per period for profitability calculation |
| Downtime cost | DT call duration x configured hourly lost-production cost | Cost attributed to unplanned downtime events per asset |
