Note from asker:
Thank you both for the help :)
Peer comment(s):

agree Robert Carter : Hi Lorena. This has also been translated as your answer but without the hyphen, as well as "executometer" and "execute-o-meter" which I think really invests it with the banality of the original.

NB: On a personal level, I must admit I find "Ejecutómetro" and its literal counterpart rather tasteless and feel that it trivialises an extremely unpleasant state of affairs.
