Abstract
A method for displaying performance priorities of an organization is provided. The method includes displaying on a physical medium at least one metric. The method also includes displaying on the physical medium a plurality of metric status indicators. Each metric status indicator has a color-coded table indicative of the status of a particular metric. The method also includes displaying on the physical medium a plurality of organizationally determined success factors. Each metric status indicator and each metric is associated with one of the organizationally determined success factors.

A method for displaying performance priorities of an organization, comprising:
- displaying on a physical medium at least one metric;
- displaying on the physical medium a plurality of metric status indicators, each metric status indicator comprising a color-coded table indicative of the status of a particular metric;
- and
- displaying on the physical medium a plurality of organizationally determined success factors, wherein each metric status indicator and each metric is associated with one of the organizationally determined success factors.
A system for displaying performance priorities of an organization, comprising:
- a display for displaying:
- at least one metric;
- a plurality of metric status indicators, each metric status indicator comprising a color-coded table indicative of a particular metric;
- and
- a plurality of organizationally determined success factors, wherein each metric status indicator and each metric is associated with one of the organizationally determined success factors.
A system for displaying performance priorities of an organization, comprising:
- a first section for displaying a plurality of times, each time corresponding to a portion of a production shift;
- a second section for displaying, for each of the times, a first value, the first value representing a production goal;
- a third section for displaying, for each of the times, a second value, the second value representing a production output;
- a fourth section for displaying, for each of the times, a variance between the first value and the second value;
- a fifth section for displaying, for each of the times, a value, the value representing a cumulative total of the value of the third section;
- a sixth section for displaying, for each of the times, information associated with the production shift;
- and
- a seventh section for displaying, for each of the times, one or more marks, the one or more marks identifying one or more members of the organization.
A system for displaying performance priorities of an organization, the organization having a plurality of hierarchical levels, one of the hierarchical levels a division, the division comprising two or more production facilities, comprising:
- a section indicating a plurality of metric titles, each metric title identifying a metric;
- a section indicating one or more identifying marks, each identifying mark corresponding to a particular division;
- and
- a table, the table indicating, for each identifying mark, a quantitative value of the metric identified by each of the metric titles.
