Meta's Reality Labs hardware operations team is building an executive dashboard to monitor component sourcing, incoming quality, and material planning for devices such as Meta Quest. Over the last quarter, on-time build starts fell from 96% to 89%, while expedite freight cost rose 28% and supplier defect escapes increased from 0.7% to 1.3%.
The Operations Manager needs a dashboard that lets sourcing, quality, and planning teams quickly identify whether shortages, supplier performance, or forecast error are driving production risk. Stakeholders want a small set of top-line KPIs, plus drill-down metrics that separate leading indicators from lagging outcomes. The dashboard will be reviewed weekly by supply planning, supplier quality, and manufacturing leadership.
