Analytics Dashboard Adoption Rate at 49% active dashboard use efficiency: a worked example

This worked example runs the analytics dashboard adoption rate numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 49% active dashboard use efficiency instead of the typical 68%. Estimate effective dashboard adoption activity from user sessions per hour, decisions per session, and active-use efficiency.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Dashboard sessions per hour: 18 sessions/hr (held at the documented default)
  • Production actions per session: 2.4 actions/session (held at the documented default)
  • Active dashboard use efficiency: 49 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 68)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Base dashboard action rate = dashboard sessions per hour × production actions per session.
  • Effective dashboard adoption rate works out to 21.17 actions/hr at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Base dashboard action rate works out to 43.2 actions/hr at these inputs.
  • Actions lost to passive or incomplete use works out to 22.03 actions/hr at these inputs.
  • Active dashboard use efficiency works out to 49 % at these inputs.

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 27.94% below the baseline at 21.17 actions/hr.
  • Use it after rolling out a new MES, OEE, or quality dashboard to verify operators are acting on the data, and during quarterly digital-maturity reviews. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.

Results at a glance

  • Effective dashboard adoption rate: 21.17 actions/hr (headline result)
  • Base dashboard action rate: 43.2 actions/hr
  • Actions lost to passive or incomplete use: 22.03 actions/hr
  • Active dashboard use efficiency: 49 %
