01 / Problem

Operating and financial indicators lived in separate conversations.

Cost variance analysis could explain what changed, but not quickly show how much came from scrap, consumption, volume, inventory, or accounting timing. This made it difficult to prioritize actions by impact and owner.

A model covering the full path: data, KPI, impact, and action.
