Sankey Diagram for Manufacturing Processes

A visual Power BI chart is an effective way to display a snapshot of the multiple step manufacturing process between the parts or raw materials to the sales orders or stock requests. 

The Sankey diagram links 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.
