2. Daily Logs & Metrics
This sheet supports the Weekly Planner by capturing real-time operational data per day. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-------------| | Date (MM/DD/YYYY) | Date | Each calendar day of the week | | Production Units Output | Numeric (Integer) | Total units produced that day | | Downtime Hours (Total) | Numeric (Decimal) | Sum of machine or process interruptions | | Team Member Logins Count | Integer | Number of staff logged in each shift | | Incident Reports Filed | Integer | Number of reported operational issues |3. Performance Summary & Charts
This sheet auto-aggregates data from the two previous sheets to generate actionable insights. | Metric Category | Description | |-----------------|-------------| | Weekly Task Completion Rate | % = (Completed Tasks / Total Tasks) × 100 | | Average Time Variance | Avg. (Actual Hours – Estimated Hours) per task | | Downtime Trend Line | Chart showing daily downtime across the week | | Priority Workload Distribution | Pie chart of tasks by priority level |Formulas Required
The template uses dynamic formulas to automate tracking and reduce manual input:- Completion % (Column K):
=IF(Actual_Hours="", 0, MIN(1, Actual_Hours / Estimated_Hours)) - Task Status Color Code: Conditional formatting based on status text.
- Daily Output Average:
=AVERAGEIF(Daily_Log!B:B, ">=7/10/2024", Daily_Log!C:C) - Completion Rate (Summary Sheet):
=COUNTIF(Weekly_Planner!F:F, "Completed") / COUNTA(Weekly_Planner!F:F)
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual clarity in the compact format:- Status Column: Color-coded: Red (Blocked), Yellow (In Progress), Green (Completed), Gray (Not Started).
- Priorities: High and Critical tasks highlighted in red; Medium in yellow; Low in green.
- Completion %: Gradient fill from red (<20%) to green (>100%); values above 100% indicate over-delivery.
- Downtime: Cells with downtime >2 hours are highlighted in amber.
