How data-driven BI works to maximise manufacturing efficiency and profitability

Business intelligence applications enable manufacturers to make data-driven decisions, optimise their production processes, improve their overall efficiency and stay nimble. Manufacturing operations currently function as a part of a highly dynamic and volatile supply chain. Manufacturers are challenged with a wide range of risks and uncertainties like changing customer behaviour and demand, competitive pressures, supply chain disruptions, raw material shortages and environmental and regulatory requirements, among others. These have a significant impact on their operations, affecting their production schedules, inventory levels and overall profitability.
