Reporting and KPIs: the Number Somebody Is Judged On
You take one quarter of one factory's deliveries, reported seven honest ways that disagree by thirty points. You see what a denominator chooses, and what happens to a target when the world it was written for moves. You see how a reporting boundary moves a result without moving any work. And you meet a board page where every input was right and the conclusion was wrong.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can name the numbers you are accountable for and where each one comes from, run a critical path in a system rather than a file, and make the case for or against moving a process off a spreadsheet.
Who it is for
Factory, supplier, brand and buying-office teams.
What you will produce
You write a four-part definition for every figure you report. You pair a target with the number that must move against it. You price a lateness spread against your buyer's own contractual breaks. You set a rolling period that a month end cannot be pulled into. And you add a provenance line saying which numbers on a page can be compared.
