HR reporting and analytics for Pneumatic Component Makers: reading rework, test failures and variant data
A short monthly report can show where attrition, absence and test failures overlap by line and shift, so you act on a pattern, not an impression.

Pneumatic unit owners usually see numbers in pieces: production counts from planning, test failures from quality, attendance from the gate register and exits from memory. Nobody lays them side by side. So a line with high attrition and a high test failure rate is not noticed as one problem, and a shift with frequent absence is blamed on the supervisor rather than the changeover plan.
Good reporting is small. One page a month with the same few measures for each line and shift: headcount, exits, absence, overtime, test failures and rework. A short note on the largest change and the action taken. The aim is a regular look that shows patterns, not a large dashboard that is not read.
How to set it up
1. Choose six measures that matter
Headcount, exits, absence, overtime, test failure and rework per line. Add variant changeovers if planning keeps that record. Stop at six.
2. Find where each number lives
Attendance in the gate register or machine, exits in the HR file, test failures in the quality sheet, changeovers in planning. Write the owner of each number.
3. Build the monthly page
One table per line and shift, with last month beside this month. Our HR reporting and analytics work builds a template you can fill in under an hour.
4. Read it with the supervisors
Spend twenty minutes a month going through the page with line supervisors and planning. Ask what changed and what they plan to do. Note actions and review next month.
5. Add a simple link between people and quality
Look for lines where test failures rise after an exit, a new joiner or a changeover. This often explains problems that were blamed on carelessness.
Check these first
Before changing anything, find out what is true today. These take an afternoon and use your own records.
- Which line had most exits last quarter
- Whether the shift with most absence is the same as the shift with most test failures
- How many hours of overtime each line used
- Who holds each number today and how often it is updated

Questions owners ask
No. A spreadsheet fed from the gate register, quality sheet and HR file is enough to start. If the report proves useful, software can automate the collection later.
More than a handful, since the page will not be read. Start with six, learn which ones lead to action, drop the rest and add one only if a clear decision needs it.
Agree one source for each measure and write who owns it. Disagreement itself is useful information, since it shows where a process is unclear, and fixing it often improves the data and the work.
