KPI-Lens

CI Python License: MIT Release Deploy on Render

An AI-powered supply chain intelligence platform that monitors 8 operational KPIs, detects anomalies using an ensemble of statistical detectors, and explains root causes via Claude — all accessible through a Streamlit dashboard, FastAPI, and an MCP server.

Supply chain teams spend hours manually reviewing KPI dashboards and writing exception reports. KPI-Lens automates the entire loop: ingest → detect → explain → report. A single docker compose up gives you a live anomaly feed, LLM-generated root-cause narratives, and one-click Excel/PPT exports ready for SteerCo.

Features

  • 8 supply chain KPIs tracked weekly: OTIF, Fill Rate, DFA, Inventory Turnover, DIO, Supplier DPPM, Lead Time Variance, PO Cycle Time
  • Ensemble anomaly detection: Z-score + IQR + CUSUM + Isolation Forest detectors with weighted voting
  • LLM root-cause analysis: Claude generates narrative explanations and recommended actions for each anomaly
  • FastAPI backend with 10+ endpoints for KPI data, anomaly management, and LLM chat
  • Streamlit dashboard with 5 pages: Command Center, KPI Deep Dive, Anomaly Log, LLM Analyst, Reports
  • MCP server for Claude Desktop integration — query live KPI data conversationally
  • Automated ingestion: CSV/Excel file watcher with Pydantic v2 validation and APScheduler cron
  • Report generation: Excel workbooks and PowerPoint decks for SteerCo presentations
  • 80%+ test coverage across unit and integration tests; CI runs on Python 3.11 + 3.12

Quick Start

Docker Compose (recommended)

git clone https://github.com/aliivaezii/kpi-lens.git
cd kpi-lens
cp .env.example .env          # Add your ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
docker compose up -d api dashboard

# Seed 2 years of synthetic KPI data (first run only)
docker compose run --rm api python scripts/seed_database.py

# Open the dashboard
open http://localhost:8501

Local Development

python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"
cp .env.example .env          # Add your ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

# Seed the database
python data/seeds/generate_kpis.py

# Start services (three terminals)
uvicorn kpi_lens.api.main:app --reload --port 8000
streamlit run kpi_lens/dashboard/app.py
python -m kpi_lens.mcp_server.server   # optional: MCP for Claude Desktop

Deployment

Render (full stack — API + Dashboard)

Click Deploy on Render above or create a Web Service pointing to this repo. Render reads render.yaml automatically. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in the environment variables panel before deploying.

Streamlit Community Cloud (dashboard only)

  1. Fork this repo
  2. Go to share.streamlit.io → New app
  3. Set Main file path: kpi_lens/dashboard/app.py
  4. Under Advanced settings → Secrets, add:
    ANTHROPIC_API_KEY = "sk-ant-..."
    DATABASE_URL = "sqlite:///kpi_lens.db"
    
  5. Deploy — Streamlit seeds the demo DB on first run

Docker Compose (self-hosted)

git clone https://github.com/aliivaezii/kpi-lens.git
cd kpi-lens
cp .env.example .env   # add ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
docker compose up -d api dashboard
docker compose run --rm api python scripts/seed_database.py
open http://localhost:8501

Data

The platform ships with a realistic synthetic dataset generated by data/seeds/generate_kpis.py:

  • 104 weeks × 8 KPIs × 5 supplier entities = 4,160 weekly records
  • Additive model with seasonality, trend, and deliberate anomaly injection at known dates
  • Designed to exercise all four detector types (threshold, Z-score, IQR, CUSUM)

To use your own data, drop a CSV into data/imports/ and run the ingestion scheduler, or POST directly to POST /api/ingest. Format reference: data/samples/sample_kpi_data.csv.
