Custom KPIs

Define and track your own metrics

Overview

Every organisation measures success differently. Custom KPIs lets you define metrics beyond the standard Lean set — cost per unit, defect rates, customer satisfaction scores, environmental impact, or anything else that matters to your process. Attach custom metrics to map steps, track them over time, and include them in your analytics dashboard alongside the built-in metrics. Your maps become a single source of truth for all process performance data.
