In today’s landscape of globalised manufacturing, business intelligence (BI) is crucial, offering invaluable insights and strategies for your success. With supply chains sprawling across continents, BI provides you with real-time visibility and actionable data, enabling you to optimize these complex networks, cut costs, and enhance efficiency.
For manufacturers, BI acts as a bridge between raw information and your strategic decision-making. By leveraging advanced analytics and predictive modelling, you can discern patterns, anticipate market trends, and make data-driven decisions, ensuring you stay ahead of market shifts and consumer demands.
Moreover, BI plays a pivotal role in your quality assurance, proactively identifying issues before they escalate, thereby upholding your quality standards and bolstering customer satisfaction.
A recent Dresner report shows the importance of BI in modern manufacturing, finding that:
- 89% of the manufacturers who have BI initiatives consider them successful.
- 49% of manufacturers expect their BI budgets to increase year-over-year.
- Manufacturers’ top three BI objectives are to improve operational efficiencies that reduce costs, grow revenue and improve decision-making.
Challenges of inadequate tooling
Modern manufacturing data analysts have more information at their fingertips than ever before. However, in a time of frequent market and supply chain challenges, without the right tools these new data streams can quickly become unwieldy. Your leadership wants the latest reporting updates now, not tomorrow, and in a format they can understand and easily pull actionable insights from.
Here are some challenges you might face without embedded BI tools to streamline your efforts:
- Disparate data sources necessitate manual integration efforts.
- Lack of real-time data access leads to delayed decision-making.
- Limited self-service capabilities hinder your independent data exploration.
- Absence of seamless collaboration restricts efficient knowledge sharing.
- Ensuring data security and compliance becomes complex and time-consuming.
