Operations Metrics
KPIs that keep operations healthy
A curated list of metrics every ops team should track weekly.
Inventory
Start with stockout risk and turnover — they reveal both urgency and cash tied up in stock.
- • Stockout risk score
- • Inventory turnover rate
- • Slow-moving item ratio
Procurement
You’ll spot supplier issues early by tracking lead‑time variance and RFQ response speed.
- • Vendor on-time delivery %
- • RFQ response time
- • Purchase order lead-time variance
Sales
Collections velocity is the heartbeat of cash flow — track it weekly.
- • Days sales outstanding (DSO)
- • Collection rate by cohort
- • Invoice aging buckets
Accounting
Margin anomalies and expense spikes often flag issues before month end.
- • Margin anomaly count
- • Cash flow coverage ratio
- • Expense spike alerts
Leading vs. Lagging Indicators
Why you need to track both for a complete picture.
Most teams only look at lagging indicators (Revenue, Profit) which tell you what happened. Elite ops teams obsess over leading indicators (RFQ Response Time, Stockout Risk Score) because these metrics predict what will happen, giving you time to change the outcome.
