Food Processing Plant Performance Dashboard — Excel Template

Turn shop-floor data into decisions. This SEO-optimized Excel template gives food manufacturers a ready-made, no-code dashboard to track production, quality, compliance, inventory, and delivery performance—all in one place.

Why this template?

Built for food processing: includes cold-storage, audit, and CAPA timing KPIs.
Fast setup: paste your monthly data and the dashboard auto-calculates metrics and visuals.
Actionable insights: instantly see where throughput, quality, or delivery accuracy is slipping.

What you’ll track (out-of-the-box KPIs)

A. Production & Throughput

Sum of Units Processed in the Month
Production Volume
Actual Runtime vs Total Scheduled Time
Machine Utilization Rate
- Formula: Actual Runtime ÷ Total Scheduled Time
Total Changeover Time (Minutes), Number of Changeovers, Average Changeover Time (Minutes)
- Formula: Total Changeover Time ÷ Number of Changeovers
Unscheduled Equipment Downtime Hours (Sum)
- Formula: Sum of Unscheduled Equipment Downtime Hours
On-Time Supplier Deliveries % (supplier reliability)
- Formula: (On-Time Supplier Deliveries ÷ Total Deliveries) × 100
Supplier Defect Rate % (incoming quality)
- Formula: (Defective Shipments ÷ Total Supplier Shipments) × 100

B. Quality & Compliance

First Pass Yield (FPY) %
- Formula: (Units Passed QC on First Attempt ÷ Total Units Produced) × 100
Defect Rate %
- Formula: (Defective Units ÷ Total Units Produced) × 100
Food Safety Compliance % (audit pass rate)
- Formula: (Audits Passed ÷ Total Audits) × 100
CAPA Implementation Time (Days)
- Formula: Total Days to Close CAPA ÷ Number of CAPAs Closed

C. Inventory & Delivery

Raw Material Inventory Turnover (x)
- Formula: COGS ÷ Average Raw Material Inventory
On-Time Delivery Rate % (to customers)
- Formula: (On-Time Deliveries ÷ Total Deliveries) × 100
Cold Storage Efficiency %
- Formula: (Hours Within Target Temperature ÷ Total Hours in Period) × 100
Order Fulfillment Accuracy %
- Formula: (Correct Orders Shipped ÷ Total Orders Shipped) × 100
