(KPI's) from a common information repository An information repository is an easy to deploy secondary tier of data storage that can comprise multiple, networked data storage technologies running on diverse operating systems, where data that no longer needs to be in primary storage is protected, classified according to captured providing a single system of record for all performance metrics Performance metrics are measures of an organizations activities and performance. Performance metrics should support a range of stakeholder needs from customers, shareholders to employees [1]. . Data is captured from a variety of real-time and transactional data sources and automatically validated, aggregated, calculated and contextually stored. Performance metrics for line uptime, operational effectiveness and efficiency, waste, downtime and quality assurance are visualized by a user's job function. In addition, Pavilion's PPM solution uses model-based calculations to compare current performance against historic and predicted measures. "Fonterra Canpac's deployment validates the value of Pavilion's Production Performance Management solution for fast moving consumer goods manufacturers," said Matt Tormollen, chief marketing officer, Pavilion Technologies. "Our customers are gaining competitive advantage by proactively driving decision making through our model-predictive intelligence."
