Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 22400-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 184, Automation systems and integration,
Subcommittee SC 5, Interoperability, integration and architectures of automation systems and applications.
ISO 22400 consists of the following parts, under the general title Manufacturing operations management —
Key performance indicators
Part 1: Overview, concepts and terminology
Part 2: Definitions and descriptions
Part 3: Exchange and Use
Part 4: Relationships and dependencies

ISO/DIS 22400-1
Introduction
Measure about performance enables an enterprise to quantify aspects of operations and thereby monitor the
impact of changes in operational activities. This International Standard will focus on the measure found to be
particularly meaningful for the monitoring of operational performance improvement. The performance
measures can be achieved through combining measurements from operations and forming "key performance
indicators", abbreviated as KPI. The performance they monitor is specific to identified objectives of the
enterprise and they are most useful when their values can be used to identify trends toward a particular
operational objective.
Within an enterprise, the various operations areas such as sales, manufacturing, engineering, marketing, and
other business support functions have different sets of performance indicators. These various performance
indicators are used together to monitor realization of enterprise’s business goals.
An International Standard for KPIs is beneficial for comparing enterprise operations over extended periods of
time and for comparing similar operations of enterprises within an industry.
The management of manufacturing operations is normally associated with some intermediate level within the
functional hierarchy of a manufacturing enterprise. In IEC 62264, the International Standard for Enterprise-
control system integration, the intermediate level (Level 3) is referred to as the Manufacturing Operations
Management (MOM) domain. The MOM domain, is the intermediate domain between the business domain
(level 4) and the process control domain (Level 1-2).
The KPIs defined in this standard are intended to be calculated based on data from the process control
domain (level 1-2) and to provide both the business domains and the manufacturing operations domain with
decision support information to manage the manufacturing operations domain of the enterprise.
This part of the standard (Part 1) will present Overview, concepts and Terminology for KPIs. Other parts of the
standard will cover guidelines for computing and for measuring the components of a KPI (Part 2), definitions
for the content and context of the exchange and the use of KPIs (Part 3) and specifications of relationships
and dependencies among KPIs (Part 4).

4 Overview and introduction
4.1 Value creation processes
A process consists of a set of activities performed with a set of resources to realize a goal within a specified
timeline.
The goal of a production-oriented enterprise is to satisfy the market demand for products. The value creation
process to reach this goal needs to be conducted in a smart, safe and sustainable manner. A set of
performance indicators provides a means to evaluate the performance of the process in order to meet the
target.
Managing a value creation process implies completing the process as planned and continuously improving the
process. An appropriate set of performance indicators is used to determine if the process was completed as
planned and the goal realized as expected. Those performance measures found to be the most useful in
monitoring and evaluating improvement or degradation of performance are called "key performance
indicators" As a very rough approximation and generally speaking; key performance indicators are the 20% of
all performance measures that account for 80% of impacts from changes in operations
4.2 Collaborative manufacturing
The complete value creation process is both external and internal. The external processes are the value chain
process, i.e., the process from suppliers to customer, and the life cycle process, i.e., the process from design
to support of a product. The internal process is the enterprise-to-plant-process, i.e., the internal process
transforming strategic enterprise decisions to operational plant actions. The internal and external value
creation processes are further explained in Annex A (Collaborative Manufacturing). This standard has its
focus on the internal processes and the internal functionalities.
4.3 Functional and physical hierarchies
The internal functionalities of an enterprise are hierarchically structured in a functional model. The different
levels in the functional hierarchy model are: business planning and logistics (level 4), manufacturing
operations management (level 3), and batch, continuous, or discrete control (level 1-2). The levels provide
different types of functionality and work in different timeframes. The Functional Hierarchy is further explained
in IEC 62264 and a brief presentation is given in Annex B (Functional and Physical Hierarchies). This
standard has its focus on the Manufacturing Operation Management level (level 3).
The equipment used in the enterprise can be structured in a hierarchical structure (ref IEC 62264-1). The
different levels are; Enterprise, Site Area, Work Cell, Work unit and lower equipment used in production. The
hierarchy is presented in Annex B (Functional and Physical Hierarchies). In this standard the term ―Operation
Cluster‖ is used as a generic term for all levels in this hierarchy.

4.4 Manufacturing operations management
4.4.1 Categories of operations
The domain of manufacturing operations shall be composed of the following sub-domain categories of
operations (ref IEC 62264-1):
a) production operations;
b) inventory handling operations;
c) quality assurance testing operations;
d) maintenance operations;
e) rest of the other operations categories.
4 © ISO 2010 – All rights reserved

ISO/DIS 22400-1
Each category is further detailed by an Activity Model. The categories of operations are briefly presented in
Annex C (Manufacturing Operations Management). Production operation is the main type of operation
whereas maintenance, inventory and quality could be thought of as complimentary type of operations.
4.4.2 Activity model
The Activity Model includes eight activities: detailed scheduling, dispatching, execution management,
resource management, definition management, tracking, data collection, and analysis. These activities apply
to production operations, quality operations, inventory operations and maintenance operations.
The activity model is defined in IEC 62264-3 and briefly described in Annex C (Manufacturing Operations
Management). The activity called Performance Analysis takes care of the activities related to performance
indicators e.g. definitions, calculations, presentations, and exchange of KPIs.
4.4.3 Resources
A resource is an entity that provides some or all of the capabilities required by the execution of the enterprise
activities and/or business processes. The resources involved in manufacturing operational management are;
personnel, material, equipment and process segments. (IEC 62264-1). The resources are further defined in
Annex C (Manufacturing Operations Management).
Equipment also incorporates asset management.
Material also incorporates consumable materials like energy and additives/utility.

4.5 Concepts of production operations
4.5.1 Production methodology
There are many ways of classifying an enterprise. One way is according to the industry sector the enterprise
is active within. Another way is according to the type of production process that the enterprise has. Three
main types of production processes exist; continuous, discrete and batch. There are enterprises that include
all three types of production processes and there are others that operate only one of them. It is common to
refer to a production process according to the dominant type of process. Batch, continuous and discrete
production processes are briefly described in Annex D (Production).
4.5.2 Production execution through work orders
The enterprise receives customer orders that are transformed into production orders and further refined and
regrouped (merged and/or split) into executable work orders.
 Customer order = A combination of production orders (out of scope of this standard)
 Production order= a fixed quantity of a single product (out of scope of this standard)
 Work orders = a fixed quantity of a product or sub-product /intermediate (in ISA95-Part4 this is
referred to as job order).
The concept of orders is very clear in discrete and batch production whereas it is more subtile in continuous
production processes.
4.5.3 Physical structure
The order of equipment actually used or expected to be used in the execution of a work order is called the
path. A work center is classified as single path, multiple path, or network based on its physical structure.
Regardless of which structure is used, several work orders may be in progress at the same time, multiple input
materials may be used, multiple finished materials may be generated, and production units may be shared
input material sources and production storage. More about the physical structure can be found in Annex D
(Production).
ISO/DIS 22400-1
4.5.4 Single product/multiple products
A work center may be of single product type or of multiple product type. The hardest plants to operate and
evaluate are network-structured plants with multiple products.
4.6 Concepts of improvement methods
4.6.1 Introduction
An improvement method does require an understanding of the objective through which a set of KPIs has to be
managed. This set of KPIs depends on a selection criteria that will enable the objective to be realized.
These KPIs may be associated with different manufacturing operations categories in which the measures are
further derived from concurrent processes and resources at level 2 and below (see Annex B for a description
of the levels).
The use of KPIs is only one of the potential support tools for continuous improvement, compare ISO 13053-1.
Some of the better-known methods with a focus for improvements are listed in Annex E.
4.7 Concepts of targets-and-measures and drivers-and-enablers
KPIs can be related to each other, such that the value of one KPI is based on the value of another KPI. This
relationship can be structured in a network structure that is roughly hierarchical, as illustrated in Figure 1.

Figure 1: KPI netwok structure.
The KPIs at the lowest level are derived from measurements of the processes. KPIs at higher levels are
based on the KPI values from the lower level KPIs. KPIs at higher levels are derived KPIs.
Bottom-up: There are ways to collect the measures. There are ways to aggregate measures and form KPIs.
There are ways to combine KPIs to form ―higher level‖ KPIs. There are ways to visualize the KPI also in real
time. The shorter time delay, the easier the ―process‖ is to control. A long time delay makes

Introduction
Using key performance indicators (KPIs) for manufacturing operations management (MOM) is motivated
by the possibility to use them to improve the value creation processes of an enterprise.
Measuring performance enables an enterprise to quantify aspects of all its activities. ISO 22400 focuses
on performance measures found to be particularly meaningful for the realization of operational
performance improvement. These performance measures can be achieved through combining various
measurements from operations and forming what are called KPIs. The monitoring of performance is
specific to identified objectives of the enterprise, and KPIs are most useful when their values can be
used to identify trends relative to certain operational objectives.
Within an enterprise, the various operational areas, such as sales, manufacturing, engineering, marketing,
and other business support functions, have different sets of performance indicators. These various
performance indicators are used together to monitor the realization of enterprise business objectives.
An International Standard for KPIs is beneficial for comparing enterprise operations over extended
periods of time and for comparing similar operations of enterprises within an industry.
The management of manufacturing operations is normally associated with an intermediate level
within the functional hierarchy of a manufacturing enterprise. In IEC 62264-1, the MOM domain is the
intermediate domain between the enterprise domain (Level 4) and the control domain (Levels 1 and 2).
The KPIs defined in this part of ISO 22400 are intended to be calculated using data from the control
domain, and to provide both the enterprise domain and the MOM domain with decision support
information to manage the enterprise.
This part of ISO 22400 presents an overview, concepts and terminology for KPIs. ISO 22400-2 covers
guidelines for computing and for measuring the components of a KPI. Future parts of ISO 22400 will
cover definitions for the content and context of the exchange and the use of KPIs, and specifications of
relationships, dependencies among KPIs, and the maturity of the collection and use of KPIs.

4 Concept of KPIs
4.1 General
The motivation for using KPIs in the MOM domain starts with a description of the value creation
processes (see Clause A.2). An enterprise is described by three hierarchical models:
— physical asset;
— functional;
— equipment.
The functional and the equipment hierarchy models are of importance in ISO 22400. The KPIs in
ISO 22400 are limited to the MOM domain (see Clause A.4). Selection of KPIs depends on the production
methodology that is used by the enterprise (see Clause A.5). KPIs in the MOM domain identify and
achieve improvement targets based on actionable information (see Clauses A.6 and A.7).
4.2 Criteria for KPIs
A good KPI has certain criteria which ensure its usefulness in achieving various goals in the
manufacturing operation. The criteria are listed below, along with the process for performing each
individual measurement.
a) Aligned: the KPI is aligned to the degree to which the KPI affects change in relevant higher-level
KPIs, where alignment implies a high ratio of the percent improvement (assuming positive impact)
in important higher-level metrics to the percent improvement in a KPI (or KPI set), given no other
changes in the system.
b) Balanced: the extent to which a KPI is balanced within its chosen set of KPIs.
c) Standardized: the KPI is standardized to the extent to which a standard for the KPI exists and that
standard is correct, complete, and unambiguous; the standard can be plant-wide, corporate-wide,
or industry-wide.
d) Valid: the KPI is valid to the extent of the syntactic (i.e. grammar) and semantic (i.e. meaning)
compliance between the operational definition of the KPI and the standard definition. If no standard
exists, then validity is zero.
e) Quantifiable: the KPI is quantifiable to the extent to which the value of the KPI can be numerically
specified; there is no penalty for the presence of uncertainty, as long as the uncertainty can also
be quantified.
f) Accurate: the KPI is accurate to the extent to which the measured value of the KPI is close to the true
value, where a departure from the true value can be affected by poor data quality, poor accessibility
to the measurement location, or the presence of substandard measurement devices and methods.
g) Timely: the KPI is timely to the extent it is computed and accessible in real-time, where real-time
depends on the operational context.
h) Predictive: the KPI is predictive to extent to which a KPI is able to predict non-steady-state operations.
i) Actionable: the KPI is actionable to the extent to which a team responsible for the KPI has the
knowledge, ability, and authority to improve the actual value of the KPI within their own process.
j) Trackable: the KPI is trackable to the extent to which the appropriate steps to take to fix a problem
are known, documented, and accessible, where the particular problem is indicated by particular
values or temporal trends of the KPI.
k) Relevant: the KPI is relevant to the extent to which the KPI enables performance improvement in
the target operation, demonstrates real-time performance, allows the accurate prediction of future
events, and reveals a record of the past performance valuable for analysis and feedback control.
l) Correct: the KPI is correct to the extent that, compared to the standard definition (if one exists), the
calculation required to compute the value of the KPI compared to the standard definition (if one
exists) has no errors with respect to the standard definition.
m) Complete: the KPI is complete to the extent that, compared to the standard definition (if one exists),
the definition of the KPI, and the calculation required to compute the value of the KPI, covers all
parts, and no more, of the standard definition.
n) Unambiguous: the KPI is unambiguous to the extent that the syntax (i.e. grammar) and semantics
(i.e. meaning) in the definition of the KPI lacks ambiguity or uncertainty.
o) Automated: the KPI is automated to the extent that KPI collection, transfer, computation,
implementation, and reporting are automated.
p) Buy-in: the KPI has buy-in to the extent that the team responsible for the target operation, as well
as teams responsible for both upper and lower level KPIs, are willing to support the use of the KPI
and perform the tasks necessary to achieve target values for the KPI; includes difficulty of obtaining
official approval by management for the KPI.
q) Documented: the KPI is documented to the extent that the documented instructions for
implementation of a KPI are up-to-date, correct, complete, and unambiguous, including instructions
on how to compute the KPI, what measurements are necessary for its computation, and what actions
to take for different KPI values.
r) Comparable: the KPI is comparable to the extent that means are defined to reference supporting
measurements over a period of time, and a normalizing factor to express the indicator in absolute
terms with appropriate units of measure.
s) Understandable: the KPI is understandable to the extent that the meaning of the KPI is comprehended
by team members, management, and customers, particularly with respect to corporate goals.
t) Inexpensive: the KPI is inexpensive to the extent that the cost of measuring, computing, and
reporting the KPI is low.
4.3 Characterization of KPIs
4.3.1 General
A KPI is characterized by information regarding its content and context:
a) content information: a quantifiable element with a specific unit of measure;

b) context information: a verifiable list of conditions that are met.
The factors that determine the value of a KPI are assumed to be accessible to change using a particular
action plan. The action plan describes the activities that will lead to achieving the objective of the
operation, the resources and actors required for performing the activities, and the timeframe for
completing these activities.
4.3.2 Content information
When a definition of a KPI is given, it should contain information about its content:
a) name: name of KPI, e.g. availability, worker effectiveness;
b) ID: a user-defined unique identification of the KPI in the user’s environment;
c) description: a description of the KPI;
d) scope: identification of the element for which the KPI is relevant, e.g. a work unit, work centre, work
order, product, or personnel (see IEC 62264-3);
e) formula: the mathematical formula of the KPI defined in terms of elements;
f) unit of measure: the basic unit or dimension in which the KPI is expressed;
g) range: the upper and lower logical limits of the KPI;
h) trend: information about the improvement direction, i.e. higher-is-better or lower-is-better.
4.3.3 Context information
The specification of a KPI should contain information about its context, including timing, audience,
production methodology, effect model diagram, and notes.
a) The timing context information should specify the frequency of KPI calculation as following:
1) real-time (as the process is occurring): after each new data acquisition event,
2) periodically: done at a certain interval, e.g. one time per day, or
3) on-demand: after a specific data selection request.
b) Constraints: information about possible constraints on how the KPI can be used.
c) Usage: in
