Navigate the PLM Dashboard

Dashboards are a great way to display what’s important in just one place. Pan to move around and don’t miss the modules that are at the bottom. And nothing less than having all your traceability data controlled and organized in the PLM dashboard.

What is displayed on this dashboard?

PLM dashboards are here to facilitate your workflow and make sure you stay up to date on what is happening in the entirety of the selected project. Centralize your data in one place, and synthesize all the information you need in a single view.

Articles declared

This is the total amount of Articles within the project.

Materials declared

This is the total amount of Materials within the project.

Suppliers declared

This is the total amount of suppliers within the project. It excludes the Warehouse and any “Unknown” supplier.

Average distance traveled in km

This is the average distance traveled by all the articles from the origin to the warehouse, considering the collection sampler.

Traceability completion

This is the average traceability completion score of the collection sampler.

In the tooltip, the first line in bold recalls the average traceability completion score. The following 3 scores are the detailed scores based on the stages considered:

• Article supplier: Includes manufacturing and article finishing suppliers.
• Material supplier: Includes material processing and finishing suppliers.
• Raw material supplier: Includes raw material processing and extraction suppliers.

The total score is an average of the 3 previous scores.

Distribution of transport used

This is the repartition of transport means used between manufacturing and warehouse based on the collection sampler.

The repartition is shown between:

• Truck: Ground freight (lorry)
• Plane: Air freight (belly-freight or dedicated freight)
• Ship: Sea freight (container ship) or inland waterways freight (barge)
• Train: Rail freight

Manufacturing countries

These are the manufacturing countries ordered by occurrence percentage within the collection sampler. Manufacturing means final assembly of the product, or “cut, make & trim” (CMT).

👉🏻 Note that all the countries should sum 100%.

Material processing countries

These are the material processing countries sorted by occurrence percentage within the collection sampler. They are calculated based on the weight of each material within all the articles of the project. These countries are not the country of origin of the raw materials, they correspond instead to the country where the materials were processed (e.g. weaving or knitting).

👉🏻 Note that all the countries should sum 100%.

Raw material composition distribution

This graph is a representation of the raw material types used in the collection sampler. The repartition is calculated based on the weight of the raw material in each article of the project.

• Vegetal: sourced from plants such as cotton, hemp, jute or ramie that were harvested and directly ginned into a fiber.
• Animal: sourced from living animals such as leather, wool or silk.
• Artificial: sourced from plants from which cellulose was extracted and regenerated into a fiber such as viscose, modal or lyocell.
• Polymer: sourced from the petrochemical or biobased industry including synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, elastane but also TPU foams and rubbers used in footwear as well as PU coatings.
• Non-organic: sourced from non-organic sources such as metal ores and stone including iron and nickel trims.
• Undefined:for all composition declared as “Others”.

Raw material characteristics

This graph is presenting the percentages of organic, recycled and bio-based materials within all the articles of the project based on the collection sampler.

• Bio-based: materials intentionally made from substances derived from living organisms such as plants and animals. It includes vegetal, animal, artificial and biobased polymer raw materials.
• Organic: biobased materials produced without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or other artificial chemicals.
• Recycled: materials obtained through any recovery operation by which waste were reprocessed into materials whether for the original or other purposes. It is the opposite of virgin materials.

👉🏻 Note that the 3 percentages does not have to sum 100% and can be analyzed independently.

The info icon ℹ️ allow to see an exhaustive list of the raw materials contributing to the percentage.

Overall traceability performance ranking

This graph shows the three best & worst ranking articles in terms of traceability completion. In case several articles are equally ranking, they are ordered in alphabetical order.

The chips show:

• 0% < Score < 33% is Low: will be shown in green.
• 33% < Score < 66% is Medium: will be shown in orange.
• 66% < Score < 100% is High: will be shown in red.
