Executing the fundamentals is critical to success. For process management, those fundamentals include well designed and implemented plant floor data collection, management and analytics to support decision making. With these systems in place, the company can establish operational excellence. Without them long term success is impossible.
In this presentation, Bill Palmer reviews how the core practices of process management and analytics begin in operations and mature to become key elements of enterprise management. He draws upon his consulting experience to provide case studies illustrating what works effectively in practice.

17. Management Needs to Understand
the System
1. Convince employees that data is important. Show
them you are really using it!! This may be the only best
way to minimizing gaming of data.
2. Visualize the system with graphical representations of
process data.
3. Understand the system with statistical knowledge.
4. Have the ability to instantly compare and study the
necessary data.

27. Common SPC Analytics Mistake
Assumption: What’s important is the
operator seeing the real time process.
Mistake: Choosing software based on
whether or not the operator will be able to
see the real time process.
NEWS FLASH: ALL SPC software does
that!
28. A Common Start-Up Mistake
Mistake: Setting up data sources that
focus primarily on the needs of the floor
user.
Problem: The Manager Summary
Reporting tools may be “too inconvenient”
to use, and therefore will be underutilized.
Quite often it is convenient to set up systems to look at a
specific process. The big ROI down the road might be
from comparing processes.

32. Centralized Database
Advantage: Data is relatively easy to query. Data
that is easy to query, gets queried.
Disadvantage: All data must go through the Central
Database, so, either all data must be written there, or
special utilities must be developed to route data to
the Central Database.
Disadvantage: You may be limited to the reporting
technology that was developed for the Central
Database, thereby reducing reporting options.
33. Decentralized Data Source
Advantage: Data is also relatively easy to query. Data
that is easy to query, gets queried.
Advantage: Data or reference information remains in
already convenient locations.
Disadvantage: Some work needs to be done to relate
the data sources to minimize barriers to reporting.
*Advantage: Easier to take advantage of reporting
advances created by 3rd party vendors.
