There are far to many meaningless numbers floating in space that people think are concrete or important. Of course there are some numbers that exist for a reason. To show financial health of a company, to show which items are making money, or show the cost of quality.
So, which ones are mportant to you? In some fashion they all are. Company owners need to know how the company is doing. Or they wish to know what materials and labor are costing. I am pretty sure I have said this before but it bares repeating. Measure and track what is important to you. measure the things you want to get done. If you don't measure it they won't do it.
So for you managers out there don't have people measuring things just for the sake of doing it because someone says you should. It also helps to explain to those you work with why they are doing it. And for those of you doing the measuring, sometimes you have to just shut up and do what you are asked. In either case measure only what you need to!
