Optimizing Supply Chain with Guided Analytics
A world leader in the industrial equipment industry wanted to enhance its supply chain operations. The company’s spare parts and after-market division embarked on a Spare Part project to improve the planning and availability of its spare parts inventory.
Ambition: Enhancing product lifecycle management
Improving the parts introduction process and managing stock levels responsibly can significantly enhance supply chain efficiency. The required coordination across departments and a structured approach underscore the need for strategic implementation. Collaborating with stakeholders aligns objectives and ensures successful process introduction. A unified strategy is essential for streamlining operations and achieving supply chain excellence.
How we helped: Supply Chain analytics with QlikView to bring transparency
To improve decision-making and streamline operations, the Supply Chain division implemented a user-friendly, analytics-driven application. The new solution replaced a fragmented legacy system with real-time dashboards and interactive insights tailored to business needs.
Supported by QlikView experts, the team established a unified data model, cleaned and enriched information, and gained clarity on key metrics—enabling faster, more confident actions across the division. The solution also automated updates, offered guided analytics, and provided dynamic filtering, making data exploration seamless for all users.
Results: Better stock & portfolio management through data
The implementation of QlikView’s guided analytics led to several key improvements. The Supply Chain planners enjoyed rich and intuitive functionality at high speed, thanks to in-memory technology. They gained actionable insights into trustworthy data, such as the needed time for parts creation, real-time visibility on inventory, and all product movements in the warehouse. The Supply Chain dashboards helped improve the coordination of the New Parts Introduction process, through enhanced transparency on item level (creation, pricing, stocking, ageing, availability, obsolescence risk).
