Tiivistelmä
This thesis was made for Wärtsilä Power Plants, a global business division within Wärtsilä Group, providing flexible, efficient, and environmentally advanced energy solutions.
The purpose of this thesis was to define and test measuring principles for preliminary defined performance indicators connected to business process of Wärtsilä Power Plants. The objective was to analyse what information and data is available and what data is needed to enable automated reporting and publishing of dashboard, a systematic way to measure performance and quality of products and services, with the Qlikview application. Along the development process indicators were also developed so that they can effectively be used for analysing the status of business processes.
As an outcome nine out of fifteen indicators investigated can be accessed and updated automatically from the data storage, five needs manual Excels as data, and only one would need manual filling of the monthly value to the application. The development process to read data automatically has been started to have a solution for two of the Excel based measurements. For the rest it should be investigated if data can be collected to the SharePoint custom list or similar from where data can be automatically loaded to the Qlikview application.
The majority of the findings and improvement proposals found during the process were immediately implemented into practise along the process. The rest of the results and proposals mentioned in this thesis as well as concrete publishing of the dashboard application will be taken into account and implemented into practise when the dashboard 2015 will be established and published with Qlikview.
