  Process visualizations of data from manufacturing execution systems (MESs)
provide the ability to generate valuable insights for improved decision-making.
Industry 4.0 is awakening a digital transformation where advanced analytics and
visualizations are critical. Exploiting MESs with data-driven strategies can
have a major impact on business outcomes. The advantages of employing process
visualizations are demonstrated through an application to real-world data.
Visualizations, such as dashboards, enable the user to examine the performance
of a production line at a high level. Furthermore, the addition of
interactivity facilitates the user to customize the data they want to observe.
Evidence of process variability between shifts and days of the week can be
investigated with the goal of optimizing production.
