Manufacturing Business Intelligence
The Informance Enterprise Solution is a Business Intelligence (BI) platform, with a Data Warehouse that aggregates data from all plants in a production network. As a true BI platform, Informance enables multidimensional analysis spanning multiple plants, product lines, and asset types. Using Informance, business executives uncover common issues that can lead to transformational improvement with significant ROI. The powerful analytics, exception-based alerting capabilities, and integration to enterprise systems - ERP, MES, CMMS, etc. – combined with multidimensional analysis, gives corporate decision makers insight into all aspects of an enterprise’s manufacturing system. Informance enables operations and manufacturing executives to discover, analyze, and take action on opportunities that affect the entire plant network.
Manufacturing Strategist
The Informance Manufacturing Strategist is a strategic decision support system that lets users develop strategies based on real-time data, test these strategies using “what-if” scenarios, and track the performance of each strategy and its relationship to larger corporate objectives. Before any strategy can be formulated, manufacturers must have a holistic view of their operations, complemented by detailed information about the critical issues facing each of their manufacturing facilities. Manufacturing data collected from individual plants must be aggregated so that the information from which strategies can be derived is available. The Informance Manufacturing Strategist allows manufacturers to tailor their strategies to specific regions, product families, processes and asset classes. Top improvement opportunities are highlighted. “What-if” scenario modeling capabilities allow manufacturers to identify improvement programs with the most favorable value proposition. Once launched, strategies can be tracked in real-time and quick course corrections can be made to adjust for changing market conditions. Practical cost cutting strategies such as reducing variable cost by eliminating overtime or lowering unit cost by curtailing volume sent to contract manufacturers can be evaluated and executed. Growth-focused strategies such as boosting production without capital expenditure are also supported. The Informance Manufacturing Strategist understands the specific tasks that must be carried out at the different plants in order to achieve the corporate improvement objective.
