Operations analytics starts with collecting data from various sources within the organization's operations. This data can include information on production processes, inventory levels, equipment performance, resource utilization, quality control metrics, and more.
Once collected, data from disparate sources need to be integrated into a unified dataset for analysis. This may involve data cleansing, normalization, and transformation to ensure consistency and accuracy.
Descriptive Analytics: Descriptive analytics involves summarizing historical data to understand past performance and trends. This can include generating reports, dashboards, and key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor operational metrics such as production output, cycle times, downtime, and resource utilization.
Predictive Analytics: Predictive analytics uses statistical models and machine learning algorithms to forecast future outcomes and trends based on historical data. In operations analytics, predictive models can be used to anticipate demand, identify potential bottlenecks, predict equipment failures, and optimize resource allocation.
Prescriptive analytics goes beyond predicting outcomes to recommend actions that can optimize operational performance. This may involve simulating different scenarios, conducting optimization analyses, and identifying the most effective strategies for improving efficiency, reducing costs, and mitigating risks.
Operations analytics helps identify the root causes of performance issues or inefficiencies within operational processes. By analyzing data on various factors such as equipment failures, quality defects, or process deviations, organizations can pinpoint the underlying causes and take corrective actions to address them.
