How Data Visualization Enhances Employee Morale in Manufacturing

Are you leveraging manufacturing data analytics to boost employee satisfaction in your manufacturing facility? In this article, we'll gain a deeper understanding of how visual performance dashboards can enhance transparency and morale, which is crucial for improving workplace dynamics.

How You Can Use Data to Improve Employee Satisfaction

In June of 2023, Insight Global wrote an article about the challenges of recruiting for manufacturers. The article mentions that 77% of manufacturers believe they will have ongoing difficulties attracting and retaining employees.

While that may be true, manufacturers can improve their odds by leveraging manufacturing data analytics. Progress against goals displayed in a manufacturing facility can show employees how the facility is improving and promote transparency.

For managers, clear graphical analytics help with decision-making. They make volumes of data from machines and ERPs digestible and actionable. Having clearly displayed progress against key performance indicators can improve purpose and direction for employees.

Enhancing Workplace Transparency

Having the right data intelligence tools helps improve employee satisfaction while making your manufacturing data easily consumable. Alora, our manufacturing intelligence platform, clearly shows employee performance metrics and areas of potential improvement. It also shows employee performance against machine performance to prove when delays were due to unplanned machine downtime.

Machine Utilization Improvements

Another way that manufacturers can leverage data visualization to improve employee satisfaction is by improving machine utilization. Improving utilization will lead to more productivity per machine, so fewer employees need to work at one time. This may help alleviate regular overtime, allowing your employees to have a better work-life balance in manufacturing.

Alora Manufacturing Intelligence

Alora gives manufacturers native integration into our ERPs and connection to your machines. Our customers then take this combined data and share it within their manufacturing facility so that managers and employees can easily measure progress. Alora also delivers up to a 20% increase in utilization in a few weeks so our customers can maintain and even grow productivity without working employees overtime. Now, with Alora’s configurable dashboards, our customers have even more ways to display their most important data.
