A method for configuring a manufacturing operation management (MOM) data warehouse and providing a user interface (UI) to the MOM data warehouse configuration. The MOM data warehouse forms a database for the data handled within a manufacturing execution system. The method includes: a) mapping the data that has to be presented in the UI into a hierarchical data model being based on an industry classification of the manufacturing process controlled by the manufacturing execution system, the hierarchical data model having a number of levels; b) mapping the hierarchical data model into a radial control based UI; c) displaying in the radial control based UI at least two levels of the hierarchical data model; and d) providing navigation actions in order to scroll up and/or scroll down through the levels of the hierarchical data model.
