In order to be usable to support production-related decision-making, the data must be readily available whenever required and analysis must be trouble-free.

Companies use varied reporting practices; each level presents the data from its own perspective. This means numerous different Excel spreadsheets, formulas, calculation methods, and PowerPoint presentations that take time to compile and are completed at the last minute out of sheer necessity.
