System and method for managing manufacturing information

Abstract

A system for managing data within an organization that is intended to provide tactical and/or role-based data. The system includes a data acquisition module, a data processing module and an output module. The data acquisition module acquires operational data and financial data related to the operational data. The data processing module is configured to: analyze the operational data to identify a variance in the operational data; determine a financial impact of the variance based on the financial data; generate an event based on the variance in the operational data; and prioritize the event based on the financial impact. The output module then outputs the event, preferably in accordance with priority. In a particular case, the event may also be categorized as relating to a particular role with the organization.
