Improving Operational Efficiency –
Putting the Action in “Actionable”
February 26, 2014
Current Environment – Manufacturing & Supply Chain
 Top executives identify the ability to quickly change sourcing, manufacturing,
distribution, and other activities to balance supply and demand as a top
priority.
 Flexibility is sacrificed in favor of direct product cost reductions.
 Companies surveyed to date say their top three barriers to flexibility are
errors in demand forecasts, long supplier lead times, and product
proliferation.
 Shorter product cycles, increased customer demands, the pursuit of lowercost locations, and the race to new markets increase the barriers to flexibility.
 Most companies have not developed and synchronized the supply and
demand sides of their businesses to reduce the barriers to flexibility and
profitability.

Current Challenges and Objectives – a Few Stats
 Challenges of manufacturing executives in 2013
•
26% - a lack of collaboration across different departments
•
25% - having too many disparate systems and data sources
•
25% - attaining ROI justifications for improvement investments
 Top Strategic Objectives of Manufacturing Executives in 2013
•
66% - ensuring consistent quality
•
56% - responsiveness to customer demands
•
49% - increasing production capacity and capabilities
Good information is still an issue, but collaboration and
concerted action are becoming a greater concern

Classical BI Solutions – Benefits and Limits
 What Classical BI can do well?
 Provide timely consolidated information.
 Identifies problem areas requiring action.
 Identify results of prior actions in similar scenarios.
 What Classical BI does not do well?
 What it cannot do well is facilitate action.
 Tends to leave when the action begins.
 Then it reappears in the “after action” analysis.
What is the next step in the evolution?

Harnessing a Flood of Quality Control Results

A maker of medical equipment was struggling
with quality control data from their production
line.
Major test failures were clear, but many
reliability indicators were only represented by
subtle trends in large populations of data.
The number of components and variety of tests
was proliferating.
The flood of data coming from automated test
condition monitoring equipment was creating an
ever increasing delay of analysis.
Product was shipped long-before all quality
control data could be analyzed.
A classical BI solution assisted in decreasing
latency and eventually provided visibility prior to
shipping.
However, issues that were uncovered required
coordinated action involving production,
maintenance, engineering, supply, and legal.
BI did not help in mounting a coordinated
response to issues discovered.

Sales and Inventory Operational Planning
Inventory: We
have 200 days
of product X,
Y, & Z.
Great. Now
how do we do
this?
Plant Manager:
Production calls
for a big run of
Product X
Sales: Product
X is not going
anywhere


S & IOP is a periodic process used by
many manufacturing and distribution
companies.

It combines current knowledge from
sales, inventory management, and
plant operations in order to make
concerted decisions about
operational objectives.

It results in a consensus among the
parties on recommended changes to
sales, inventory, and manufacturing
plans.

Information is helpful, but each
organization implements revisions on
their own.

Many times the pieces don’t come
together and results are mixed.
11
Sales and Inventory Operational Planning
Inventory: We
have 200 days of
product X, Y, &
Z.
Let’s get
approval and
implement now.
 Classical BI makes a solid
contribution to the process by
providing comparable
information that each can bring
to the table.
 Once those decisions are
reached, Classical BI does not
come back into play until after
all the actions have occurred.
Plant Manager:
Production calls
for a big run of
Product X
Copyright © 1999-2014 Chateaux Software. All rights reserved.
Sales: Product X
is not going
anywhere
 What is needed is way to link
the input to the actions, keeping
the participants connected
throughout the process.

A good BI solution can help in several ways:
 Provide analysis of similar product roll outs.
 Provide market analysis.
 Provide analysis to support pricing.
 Provide analytics on likely partner responses (ordering behavior).
 Provide some project management information on the process.
However, you can not easily bring together:
 The continuous and rapidly growing pool of information.
 The current and needed consensus and approval.
 The actions taken and not taken.
 The entire group of participants in the process.
 The ability to make transactions occur in various applications.

14
Free Trade Agreements – Duty or Profit
Leveraging Free Trade Agreements can significantly impact margins.
Can mean success or failure of introducing a new product into a country.
Information and timing requirements are strict, minor differences can matter.
BI can provide information, but cannot coordinate actions.

FTAs – Crises Management Scenario
Quarantine!

What happens outside the boundaries of well-defined, repeatable processes?

Your container arrives in Brazil from Massachusetts. It is opened up and there are
“Made in Republic of Korea” labels discovered. Suddenly, you have needs:

Gather information about this shipment quickly.

Track all correspondence.

Involve multiple parties in a dynamic, yet to be defined, process.

Notify management of status and get approvals quickly.

Oh yes, determine how orders will be filled and take actions.

Respond to multiple legal demands for information or action.

Document every step.

Have all this at your fingertips.

Operational Intelligence – Supply Disruption



Copyright © 1999-2014 Chateaux Software. All rights reserved.
Of course it is insured. But how
do you quickly understand the
impact of this potential or
actual loss on fulfillment?
A good BI solution can
probably let you determine
what was in the shipment,
whether (and to whom) it was
already committed, availability
of alternate stock, and a view
of various customer
agreements.
But, how do you coordinate a
contingency plan? What parts
of that plan may have to be in
motion prior to the actual
event? How do you turn the
actions on and off in response
the final outcome?

Collaborative BI –
Going from “Actionable” to Action

18
Operational Intelligence and Collaboration
 So people get their information… then what?
 It is true that consistent information that is compatible across
functional boundaries sets the stage for concerted action.
 But once the information has allowed the participants to identify a
problem area, they are on their own.
 Fire up the phones, emails, texts, instant messages, video conferences,
file sharing mechanisms, issue trackers, operational applications, and
all the other disconnected pieces of the puzzle that make daily
operational life.
 Then try to be confident that necessary solutions and adjustments are
going to happen as needed.
 Classical BI solutions rarely tie these things together.

19
Next Generation Operational Intelligence
 We need a platform to enable collectively proposing actions,
getting approvals or consensus, taking actions, and monitoring
those actions.
 After actionable information, there is action.
 Action requires context, connection and collaboration.
 Accomplishing that on a single BI platform, rather than with
point solutions, allows people to participate in different
processes with the comfort and familiarity that the same look
and feel provides.

What Decisyon Solves
“60% of executives admitted they made bad decisions as often as good decisions.”
"Flaws in Strategic Decision Making: McKinsey Global Survey Results" January 2009
Survey of 2,207 Executives
For collaboration to work better, employees don’t need more social channels—they need
the work itself to be more social. Embedding collaboration into business processes
will transform the nature of work.
Accenture
Two-thirds of the $900 billion - $1.3 trillion value creation opportunity afforded by social
technologies lies in improving communications and collaboration within and across
enterprises. We estimate that companies could raise the productivity of knowledge
workers by 20% – 25%.
