Define the measure before entering BOS data
Open the example to see how the trend and Pareto views are built, then create a separate workbook for your process. Write down the numerator, denominator, data source and reporting frequency for each measure. Use the same definition every period so changes in the chart reflect performance rather than a change in counting rules.
Choose failure categories that people can apply consistently and avoid several labels for the same problem. Assign one person to maintain the data and agree when the team will review the chart, investigate adverse movement and follow up improvement actions.
Configure the chart for your operating review
Adapt metric names, targets, periods and defect categories to suit your business operating system or quality operating system. After changing the workbook, enter a small test dataset and confirm that percentages, trends and Pareto rankings agree with the source figures.
Check the story behind the chart
Before presenting results, verify the reporting period, totals and category assignments. Add a short explanation for significant movement and identify the action owner where performance is outside target. A BOS chart should help the team decide what to do next, not simply display last month's numbers.
