HR reporting and analytics for Door and Window Manufacturers: remakes, breakage and leaks by stage
A door and window maker has numbers that explain its costs: remakes, breakage and leak calls. Reporting them against the stage and team turns blame into patterns.

Most makers know they have remakes but not why. Wrong measurements, bad cuts, glass breakage and leak complaints are all noted, but in different books and by different people. After the monsoon starts, leak complaints arrive in a bunch, and the owner cannot see which crew fitted which window. Welders and fabricators quietly leave, and the loss shows only when output slows.
A useful report links these records. Each remake and breakage is tagged by cause and stage: measurement, cut, fabrication, delivery or fitting. Leak complaints are tied to the installation team and date. Beside them sit attendance by team, overtime in the busiest weeks, leavers from fabrication and welding, and the pay of senior against new fabricators. Read together each month, they show where to spend time and training.
How to set it up
1. Tag every remake and breakage
Add one line for stage and one for cause to the remake and breakage log. If you have no log, start one this week.
2. Link complaints to teams
Note which installation team fitted each leak complaint, and the date of fitting. Build up the list across a monsoon.
3. Add the people numbers
Add attendance by team, overtime in peak weeks and leavers from welding and fabrication. See HR reporting and analytics.
4. Build a monthly page
Put these in one table with the last two months beside them. Keep it to one page that a supervisor can read in five minutes.
5. Pick one action each month
After reading the page, choose one cause to attack and one person to own it. Review the result next month.
Check these first
Before changing anything, find out what is true today. These take an afternoon and use your own records.
- Look at your glass breakage log, or note that you do not have one.
- Count the remakes in the last quarter by stage and cause.
- Read the last five leak complaints and see who fitted those windows.
- Count welders and fabricators who left in the last year.

Questions owners ask
Remakes and breakage by stage, leak complaints by installation team, overtime in busy weeks and leavers from fabrication. These point to cost and to people at risk.
Record the stage where it broke and the cause. Then you can see whether breakage clusters in the workshop, the vehicle or on site, and act on that stage instead of blaming one crew.
For a small plant, yes. Keep one sheet for logs and one for the monthly page. When more than one person edits and the data grows, move to software that links the records.
