Airbus

Creating Power BI reports and dashboards for Airbus or any organization in the
aerospace industry involves gathering relevant data, structuring it for analysis,
and presenting it in an insightful, actionable way. Here’s a general approach to
create reports and dashboards specifically for a company like Airbus:

### 1. *Data Collection*


Airbus would have a wide array of data to pull from, such as:
- *Aircraft performance data*: Maintenance logs, engine performance, flight
data.
- *Supply chain data*: Manufacturing schedules, raw materials, inventory levels.
- *Financial data*: Profit margins, revenue from aircraft sales, R&D
expenditures.
- *Employee data*: Headcount, operational productivity, and performance.
- *Sales & customer data*: Orders, deliveries, customer satisfaction.
- *Project management data*: Timelines, budgets, milestones for aircraft
development.

You would need to connect Power BI to various data sources, such as:
- *Excel/CSV* files
- *SQL databases*
- *SAP* (if used for finance and supply chain)
- *API connections* for real-time data
- *Azure or cloud-based data warehouses*

### 2. *Key Metrics & KPIs*


To deliver useful insights, the Power BI dashboards should focus on critical Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs), such as:
- *Manufacturing KPIs*:
- Production cycles and throughput (e.g., number of aircraft assembled per
month)
- Quality control metrics (defects, delays)
- Inventory turn rate and stock levels
- *Financial KPIs*:
- Revenue from orders, backlog value
- Cost of production vs. sales
- Profitability by business unit (commercial, defense, etc.)
- *Customer & Market KPIs*:
- Aircraft delivery status and timelines
- Customer satisfaction and retention
- Market share and growth per region
- *Operational KPIs*:
- Flight safety and maintenance costs
- Time between failures (for various aircraft components)
- *Employee & Workforce KPIs*:
- Labor efficiency, hours worked
- Training & certification completion

### 3. *Power BI Report Structure*


A well-structured Power BI report or dashboard for Airbus should have:
- *Overview Dashboard*: A high-level view with key metrics across various
departments. For example, production efficiency, financial health, aircraft
delivery status, and backlog.
- *Operational Dashboard*: Focused on day-to-day operations, with detailed
visualizations on maintenance cycles, production status, and any real-time data on
aircraft availability.
- *Financial Dashboard*: Breakdown of profit/loss, cost analysis, and financial
forecasts.
- *Project Management Dashboard*: Focused on aircraft development stages,
milestones, budgets, and timelines.
- *Custom Dashboards*: These could be department-specific, like Sales, R&D, or
Procurement.

### 4. *Visualization Tools*


Power BI offers a variety of visualization tools to present data. Depending on
the type of data, consider using:
- *Line charts/Bar charts*: For trends and comparisons (e.g., aircraft
deliveries over time).
- *Pie charts*: For showing market share or revenue distribution.
- *KPI indicators*: To highlight critical goals and performance against targets.
- *Heatmaps*: For regional performance (e.g., market demand per region).
- *Maps*: To visualize global operations, aircraft deliveries, or production
facilities.
- *Scatter plots*: For performance analysis, like comparing aircraft types’
operating costs.

### 5. *User Interaction*


- *Filters*: To allow users to drill down into data for more granular insights
(e.g., by region, by aircraft type, by financial period).
- *Tooltips*: Hover to show additional details without cluttering the report.
- *Drillthrough*: Allowing users to click on an item for detailed reports (e.g.,
click on a specific aircraft type to see all related performance data).

### 6. *Sharing & Collaboration*


- *Power BI Service*: Share the reports and das
