3 1. Business Background The manufacturing industry by nature is not well equipped in responding to drastic changes in demand, the reason being most of the input costs are fixed and any effort to ramp up or ramp down production by large volumes is a costly step... Therefore faced with demand crunch manufacturers are normally faced with two tough decisions to make. First ramp down production by closing units and second is to reduce prices to boost demand. However neither of them is a long term feasible solution as the industry already operates under tight margins and costs are fixed. Cutting down manufacturing costs seems to be the obvious solution, but it s easier said than done; However to stay competitive manufacturers are giving it a serious thought and examining it with a very keen eye. 2. Drivers for Enterprise Analytics Dashboard The financial health of an organization is without doubt a vital component of organizational performance. For globally spread organizations, integrating financial information from a large number of physical and electronic sources and plant operation information in real time is extremely challenging. The problem underlying integration is not due to the lack of technology; it lies in the fact that today s competitive market demands constant ad hoc adjustment of business processes. When and where these needs arise, is difficult to predict theoretically, but rapid integration of data from dispersed systems is almost always required to support these needs. Enterprise Analytics Dashboard aims at presenting the Plant OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and Profit and Loss data along with business flow data (related to sales order) in a single view. The main intention to build the dash board is to give a holistic view across the organization which helps CEO to take strategic decision with the help of analytics to enhance the performance of the organization. The dashboard has drill down capabilities with alert facilities to help management to take decision at right time at right place and the data will be available in real time. The dashboard is a single view of various KPIs related to manufacturing, Business Flow and Profit and Loss Information. 3
