The Elusiveness of Data to Drive Decisions
As supply chain digitalization provides increased awareness and potential for managing through disruptions, real-time agility to deliver rising customer expectations, even as fulfillment operations are in process, lags behind.
Largely, this is due to a somewhat irrational acceptance of the boundaries that have been placed around manufacturing and distribution operations. Effective orchestration of available assets and resources requires a real-time awareness of operations, yet this remains elusive – constrained by antiquated IT integration mechanisms and limited visibility tools meant to provide consumable information to key stakeholders such as customer service, quality, transportation planning, co-packing, and sales.
Now more than ever, executives should see real-time awareness and orchestration inside the operation as an opportunity to improve inventory deployment and returns on assets. This opportunity is dependent on the establishment of a holistic, enterprise-level, shared view of operations intended to inform and empower representatives within and beyond your organization.
Meanwhile, performance level KPI reporting is too often a manual roll-up seen only by executives without a deeper understanding of the nuances that drive the operations. Empowering real-time trend analysis across customers, sites, and systems can streamline identification of areas of opportunity, empower associates, and drive a higher level of performance for the organization.
Filling the Void with Distribution Visibility & Analytics
By providing aggregate level views across facilities and partner organizations of real-time operational status, it allows periphery functions to access and influence operational decisions in real-time. Armed with greater information and the ability to understand customer needs and orchestrate the appropriate response is paramount to building mindshare and achieving the status of being a supplier of choice.
Meanwhile, the same framework that provides real-time and historical reference information also delivers dashboards and access to valuable operational insights to all levels of operations leadership. DVA arms cross-functional stakeholders with a robust set of dashboards and KPI monitors, and further extending their ability to derive insights through M.Toolbox’s Personalization Toolkit. As a result, subject matter experts from across the ecosystem are empowered to analyze performance trends, consider variability across operating environments, and pinpoint opportunities for operational improvements. In providing these abilities, DVA offers a critical foundation for reducing operating expenses while improving service levels and customer satisfaction.
