Sankey Diagram for Manufacturing Processes

A visual Power BI chart is an effective way to display a snapshot of the multiple step manufacturing process from raw materials to sales orders and purchase requests.

The Sankey diagram links and visualizes the following EBMS documents:

  • E: Purchase orders or expense invoices that contain raw materials or parts used to manufacture sub-assemblies or finished goods.
  • M: Manufacturing batches. (The following example contains multiple level batches.)
  • S: Sales orders that contain the finished goods. 

Requirements

A Sankey diagram business intelligence report requires SQL Mirror and a business intelligence tool to create a Sankey Diagram. Review SQL Mirror and Power BI Overview for details on these advanced EBMS tool options.
