Performance Management

Good organisations manage their performance. Often an organisation has looked at its mission and strategy, translated that into key performance measures and set up monthly monitoring of those measures.

However, many organisations are using spreadsheets to record and report on that information and the process of collecting the data from different systems can typically take 2 days every month. Ascari can reduce or eliminate that wasted time by linking to the systems that hold the data (for example the Sales Order System or Invoicing System) and deliver the KPI directly to a web browser. This provides one place to see the organisations performance and everyone uses the same data.

Specialist business consultants work with your senior management to help define the KPI's necessary to run your business. Once established, an infrastructure is created to report those metrics instantaneously by linking to your key systems or putting in place a central repository for collecting that data.

According to research undertaken by the Aberdeen group (http://www.aberdeen.com), Best of Breed manufacturers focus on efficiency and cost reduction by adopting Manufacturing Execution (MES) or Manufacturing Intelligence (MI) systems. They are also integrating MES with their Enterprise Resource Planning systems.

Best of Breed manufacturers are also utilising production scheduling optimisation, quality assurance and control and work in process resource management functionality in order to increase efficiencies and drive down costs.

Measurement of On Time Delivery, Throughput and Manufacturing Cycle Time in real time or close to real time is an essential way of driving improvements. Adopting automated data collection and dashboard visualisation for production, inventory and quality data.

Ascari can work with you to quickly create Digital Dashboards that take data from ANY place or system within your organisation and deliver key metrics as KPI's to an internet browser.
