View the summary

A summary generates a table of the desired key (resource, department, production order,...) and the desired values (produced, duration, scrap,...). The sum, average or the weighted average of the selected values can be shown at the bottom of the table.

A summary is not a visualization!

    Weighted Average

    Example: 2 production series for which specific values must be measured.

    Series 1 gives the values: 1, 3, 4, 7, 5. The average of series 1 is 20 / 5 = 4. Series 2 gives the values: 2, 1, 3, 4, 3, 5. The average of series 2 is 18 / 6 = 3. The average of the 2 series: (average series 1 + average series 2) / 2 = (4 + 3) / 2 = 3.5. The weighted average of the 2 series: (sum series 1 + sum series 2) / (number of series 1 + number of series 2) that is (20 + 18)/(5 + 6) = 38 / 11= 3.45.

    The weighted average takes into account the larger number of series 2, for which reason the result is closer to the average of series 2.
