About this template

Track product quality: conformity, defects per million (PPM) and total cost of poor quality. Designed for teams in the Manufacturing industry, the model pre-wires 4 key metrics — including Scrap rate and Conformity rate — analyzable across 3 analysis axes (Product, Line, Defect type). You start from an already-bounded base (units, aggregations and business labels defined) rather than a blank sheet.

This is a complete SAC template kit for Product quality: sample data, model definition, KPI dictionary, a step-by-step import guide (matching the current SAC screens) and a dashboard blueprint — recommended calculations with ready-to-paste SAC formulas plus a layout that follows universal dashboarding rules. Import the "Data" sheet into SAC Modeler (Create New → Model → Start with data → File), check the 3 dimensions and 4 measures, then build a professional Story in minutes using the blueprint. The dataset contains 720 to 960 rows of realistic sample values for the Manufacturing industry, available as .xlsx (7-sheet workbook), .csv (flat table) and .package (ZIP with model.json, data.csv, README and licence). You supply and validate your own figures.
