Analytics Dashboard Adoption Rate at 78% active dashboard use efficiency: a worked example

Push active dashboard use efficiency up to 78% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. an operations or analytics lead needs to measure active use of manufacturing dashboards

The inputs for this scenario

  • Dashboard sessions per hour: 18 sessions/hr (unchanged)
  • Production actions per session: 2.4 actions/session (unchanged)
  • Active dashboard use efficiency: 78 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 68)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Base dashboard action rate = dashboard sessions per hour × production actions per session) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 33.7 actions/hr for effective dashboard adoption rate, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 43.2 actions/hr for base dashboard action rate.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 9.5 actions/hr for actions lost to passive or incomplete use.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 78 % for active dashboard use efficiency.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where active dashboard use efficiency sits at 68% and the headline result is 29.38 actions/hr, this scenario comes in 14.71% above the baseline at 33.7 actions/hr.
  • It computes the effective number of production actions per hour your analytics dashboards drive after discounting passive or incomplete sessions. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • Effective dashboard adoption rate: 33.7 actions/hr (headline result)
  • Base dashboard action rate: 43.2 actions/hr
  • Actions lost to passive or incomplete use: 9.5 actions/hr
  • Active dashboard use efficiency: 78 %
