An ISO 22400 KPI is a key performance indicator defined within the ISO 22400 standard for measuring manufacturing operations performance. It commonly refers to a standardized metric used to describe how production, equipment, quality, maintenance, inventory, or operational resources are performing.
In manufacturing systems, ISO 22400 KPIs are often used in MES, MOM, ERP, reporting, and analytics contexts to align metric names, calculation logic, and operational meaning across sites or systems. Examples include indicators related to availability, performance, quality, utilization, throughput, and efficiency.
ISO 22400 KPIs should not be confused with any local dashboard metric that uses a similar name. A site-specific KPI may be useful, but an ISO 22400 KPI implies a defined manufacturing operations meaning and calculation structure based on the standard. The standard supports consistent interpretation of performance data, but using these KPIs does not by itself imply certification, validation, or any audit outcome.
