Sales Planning
Sales forecasts are critical to virtually every organization, but the sophistication and frequency of sales planning varies widely. Sales forecasting affects not only staffing, but also production and operational planning, so getting it right is imperative to balancing supply and demand.
Supply Chain Intelligence
Supply Chain Intelligence provides a single view of your supply chain. Prepackaged dashboards, key performance indicators (KPIs), analytics, and alerts help you zero in on the primary drivers behind supply chain processes—planning, procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and returns—so you can analyze and act to increase your supply chain efficiency.
Six Sigma Intelligence
Six Sigma is a set of practices that provides a systematic way of improving business processes based on customer needs and factual analysis of company processes. Organizations like General Electric are combining the Six Sigma methodology with business intelligence (BI) technology in the form of Six Sigma intelligence, a framework for using information technology to pick projects, get results more efficiently, and ensure long-term success.
Operational BI
Operational BI is the practice of getting important, real-time data to your people on the front lines—whether they're on the phone with a customer or on the road with inventory—so they can make quick, informed decisions. Operational BI makes this possible by embedding key analytics right into day-to-day business processes.
