Material Consumption Dashboard#

Overview#

The Material Consumption Dashboard provides a centralized view of material traceability, allowing users to analyze how a material has been consumed across the production process.

It enables visibility into both:

  • Where a material has been consumed
  • Which materials consumed a given material

Concept#

The dashboard leverages traceability data to present material consumption relationships based on a selected material.

Users can search for a material and choose how to analyze its consumption using two perspectives:

  • WIP (Work In Progress)
    Displays all consumption events where the selected material was consumed

  • Raw Material
    Displays all materials that consumed the selected material

This dual perspective allows users to navigate both forward and backward traceability.

Functional Behavior#

Only applicable when using the dashboard from the Quality tab.

System Configuration#

The dashboard URL must be configured in:

  • /SMT/MaterialConsumptionDashboard/Path
  • Type: String
  • Description: Defines the path to the Grafana dashboard

Important Notes#

  • The configured path must start after “Grafana/”
  • Example: d/a04f1524-8f81-430a-8d9a-0caaf350284a/material-traceability?orgId=1

Usage#

The dashboard is accessed through either:

  • Quality: Quality

  • Business Intelligence: Business Intelligence

When the dashboard is opened:

  • A Grafana dashboard is launched
  • The user can input search criteria to retrieve material traceability.

Fields and Parameters#

Grafana Options

Material Name#

  • Type: Text
  • Description: The identifier of the material to be analyzed
  • Usage: Enter the material for which traceability information is required

Search By#

  • Type: Selection
  • Description: Defines the perspective used to analyze material consumption

  • WIP

    • Displays all consumption events where the specified material was consumed
    • Focus: usage of the material in production

  • Raw Material

    • Displays all materials that consumed the specified material
    • Focus: downstream materials that depend on the selected material

The dashboard displays a set of fields that describe the material traceability. These fields may be shown or hidden depending on configuration.
