BI Tools Can Help Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Warehousing and Related Industries

BI-for-Manufacturing

Business intelligence tools are applicable and valuable for every type and size business, and every vertical. When a manufacturing or supply chain company considers BI tools, they often fail to realize the true value of the data analysis and information they can glean and the improved business decisions, course corrections and customer, supplier, and partner satisfaction they can achieve.When an organization manufactures a product, it spends time, and resources to get that product out the door. In order to make money, the business must complete the process – get the product out the door, into the supply chain and into the hands of its customers, and other stakeholders. Perhaps that product will be combined with another product to produce an end result that is purchased by a customer. Perhaps, the product will fill the shelves of a retailer, or be used in a service industry, like auto mechanics.

Widgets Plus: KPIs that Make the Business Thrive!

KPI

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are de rigueur these days, and that is a good thing for business. After all, it is hard to accurately plan for success when you are guessing at every turn. While small and large businesses alike are establishing KPIs, there is one thing that is not so de rigueur and that is establishing KPIs that are appropriate, objective, measurable and actionable! Yet, without those important considerations, KPIs aren’t worth the paper they are printed on – or the computer screen they are displayed on!

Appropriate Metrics: Let’s say that you own a company called, ‘Widgets Plus’ and that company manufactures (what else?) widgets. Among the factors that will affect business success: the quality and dependability of the widgets, competitive pricing of the widgets, supplying the right variety of widget sizes, and the timely supply of widgets to your customers. In order to establish appropriate metrics, the management team must focus on the key components of success rather than measuring the number of pens the staff used in the month of August or the average shipping costs for technical manuals. Of course, Widgets Plus cares about its expenses and it is in their best interests to control those expenses, but key metrics must focus on the things that are critical to business success, sales, corporate reputation, competitive positioning and product or service sales.
