KPI tool
Explanation:
... where KPI stands for "key performance indicator(s)", which is often used as the English equivalent of "Kennzahl(en)". One manufacturing-related KPI I can think of is OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) - cf. http://www.oee.com and http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesamtanlageneffektivität
