Operations Metrics

KPIs that keep operations healthy

A curated list of metrics every ops team should track weekly across stock, spend, assets, approvals, field work, and finance.

Inventory

Start with stockout risk and turnover — they reveal both urgency and cash tied up in stock.

  • Stockout risk score
  • Inventory turnover rate
  • Slow-moving item ratio

Procurement

You’ll spot supplier issues early by tracking lead‑time variance and RFQ response speed.

  • Vendor on-time delivery %
  • RFQ response time
  • Purchase order lead-time variance

Finance & Sales

Collections velocity is the heartbeat of cash flow — track it weekly.

  • Days sales outstanding (DSO)
  • Collection rate by cohort
  • Invoice aging buckets

Governance

Approval exceptions and audit gaps often flag issues before month end.

  • Approval SLA breaches
  • Audit evidence completeness
  • Role and permission exceptions

Assets

Custody and movement metrics show whether physical resources remain accountable.

  • Unverified asset movement
  • Custodian aging
  • GPS proof capture rate

Mobile Field Work

Offline queues and sync health tell you whether field evidence is flowing reliably.

  • Queued offline actions
  • Sync exception count
  • Field approval turnaround
Operations metrics and reporting

Mastering Leading Indicators

Most organizations look at lagging indicators: revenue, margin, write-offs, and monthly variance. Those numbers matter, but they arrive after operational risk has already become expensive.

Leading indicators are the signals tied to upstream work: vendor RFQ response time, receiving delays, stockout pressure, unverified asset movement, overdue approvals, offline sync exceptions, and audit evidence gaps.

AWRA OpsHub surfaces these signals through dashboards, reports, and operating queues so weekly reviews can focus on preventing risk, not explaining it after the fact.

Smart Recommendations

Turn weekly KPIs into an operating rhythm.

A metric only earns its place on the dashboard when it changes behavior. Build the review layer, add intelligence for signal quality, then route threshold breaches into owned work before risk becomes a month-end explanation.

Recommended metrics route

From KPI list to weekly operating control.

01

Choose leading indicators

Prioritize signals that warn early: stockout pressure, RFQ delays, approval breaches, and sync exceptions.

02

Set operating thresholds

Define what counts as normal, watchlist, urgent, and executive-review level for each metric.

03

Attach accountable owners

Map every KPI breach to the function that can act: inventory, procurement, finance, sales, assets, or IT.

04

Close the review loop

Track whether weekly actions reduced the risk, shifted the trend, or exposed a deeper process issue.
