1 HW#1: DW Case Study Case Studies of Data Warehousing Failures Four studies of data warehousing failures are presented. They were written based on interviews with people who were associated with the projects. The extent of the failure varies with the organization, but in all cases, the project was at least a disappointment. Read the cases and prepare a report that provides a substantive discussion on each of the following: What’s the scope of what can be considered a data warehousing failure?What do you find most interesting in the failure stories?Do they provide any insights about how a failure might be avoided? Your discussion should be at least 2 pages in length with 1.5” spacing & 1” margins. Case Study 1: Auto Guys Auto Guys initiated a data warehousing project four years ago but it never achieved full usage. After initial support for the project eroded, management revisited their motives for the warehouse and decided to restart the project with a few changes. One reason for the restructuring, according to the project manager, was the complexity of the model initially employed by Auto Guys. At first, the planner for the data warehouse wanted to use a dimensional model for tabular information. But political pressure forced the system’s early use. Consequently, mainframe data was largely replicated and these tables did not work well with the managed query environment tools that were acquired. The number of tables and joins, and subsequent catalog growth, prevented Auto Guys from using data as it was intended in a concise and coherent business format. The project manager also indicated that the larger the data warehouse, the greater the need for high-level management support – something Auto Guys lacked on their first attempt at setting up the warehouse. Another problem mentioned by the project manager was that the technology Auto Guys chose for the project was relatively new at the time, so it was not accepted and did not garner the confidence that a project using proven technology would have received. This is a risk inherent in any “cutting edge” technology adoption. The initial abandonment of the project was undoubtedly hastened by both corporate discomfort with this new technology and the lack of top management support. A short time after dropping the project, top management felt pressure to reestablish it. Because Auto Guys initially planned an enterprise-wide warehouse, they had considerable computer capacity. It was put to use on a much smaller project that focused exclusively on a single subject area. Other subject areas were due to be added once the initial subject area project was completed. Auto Guys expects to grow the warehouse to two terebytes within a year or two and eventually expand to their projected enterprise-wide data warehouse. The biggest difference between pre- and post-resurrection will be that the project will evolve incrementally. Given his experience with the warehouse, the project manager made the follo.

Project Plan Project Overview Statement, Part II Conversion of Legacy Database to New ERP Software Member 1 Member 2 Member 3 Member 4 PROJ-584 Managing Software Development Projects Professor Name School Name October 7, 2018 Project Plan Project Overview Statement Executive Summary Team #3 is proposing a software development/upgrade project to move from the legacy software/database MANFACT, to SyteLine® ERP inventory and financial database, to meet the needs of the growing business. This project is in line with the strategic objective of increasing sales and improving customer satisfaction by improving on time delivery at the Los Angeles, CA facility. This ERP software is in use at other facilities in the parent organization for many years now and has been successful in improving performance and delivery as well as reduced inventory levels and improved sales and bookings. This project has a preliminary budget of $500,000 with a duration of 12 -18 months. Statement of Scope This project will be company-wide and implemented in all departments and areas of the company. The new software Syteline® (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZLEMmqTdoE), will reduce the amount of manual tracking of jobs (phone calls, emails, manual excel schedules, attending department meetings, etc.) by providing real-time communication of timelines and part movement and flow throughout the shop and along with status of open programs or large jobs. It will also improve On Time Delivery (OTD) performance through enhanced planning and scheduling of orders. Reduction of lead times (customer delivery) through the elimination of wasted processes and excessive move and queue times built in because of manual processes. We intend to complete this transformation by: · Converting existing data into the new ERP database. · Upgrade server and network equipment to meet increased traffic demands. · Run pilot programs in parallel to test and verify new process capabilities. · Create standard work for each department · Train all employees that would use this system from managers to leads, from sales to production, and engineering to purchasing. Project Organization (MARC) This software upgrade will be in alignment with the organization's strat.

Project and Logistics Assessment Issue detection: The company seeks to increase the number of inventories. However, selection of the inventory which will fit for the CEO is a problem. Collection of data: Primary Data: Understand the issue by through interviews with CEO and CFO and conduct survey to detect such issues directly. Secondary Data: Personal industrial based research Survey done: Conducted interview with the management staff, relate issues with the mission of the company which is that of increasing the inventory. Make secondary data research to access more information on the best inventory to select. Prior Recommendation: Select the inventory which will allow minimum number of trips to minimize expenses. MGT 5903 GROUP 3 Industry Best Practices Site Assessment The business needs dimensions and layout of space to include height of ceilings, locations of outlets, entrance/exit doors, bay doors, windows, any obstacles. Inventory Identification Historical Data and Project Manager Experience interviews and research with managers revealed that the company is experiencing loss of items from not having proper storage & cost (ex. Paint that froze in winter). The other issue is returning suppliers that are unnecessary. Possibilities for space which is needed to be able to store the most amount of supplies and still be functional) includes storage racks/bins Walkways /aisles, Ceiling storage and Climate control. MGT 5903 GROUP 3 Recommendations Operations: Maximize the unused space which must serve as RPM’s warehouse for high demand and bulk order items by considering storage racks/bins Walkways /aisles, Ceiling storage and Climate control. Project Management: Buildertrend offers all features desired to capture resource requirements Manage Tasks with pictures Capture all material and labor costs Initial Recommendation: The company is advised to conduct inspection of projects and conduct multiple trips to purchase supplies and to maximize the unused space which must serve as RPM’s warehouse for high demand. Accounting: Buildertrend links directly to QuickBooks. Two Examples Purchasing materials for the new inventory will need to be added to the actual budget Employees in for this new system will have to be included into the actual payroll.

Example Lean Six Sigma Charter Enclosure 2, LSS Project Charter Project Name: Improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the BB computer acquisition process Date: November 15, 2014 Organization: CIO Deployment Champion: Mark Laptop Project Sponsor: John Puter Black/Green Belt: Bill Desktop Business Impact ($) This project will address the computer acquisition process for LSS BB training courses. The first two waves of training have experienced delays and customer dissatisfaction due to late delivery of computers and class disruptions to load required software. Due to exceptional work by Tom Peoples, the first two waves were able to receive their computers during week 1 of training, but since pre-work is required before attending week 1 of training, it is ideal for the BB’s to receive properly loaded computers during Team Accelerator training in order to complete the Minitab pre-work and get comfortable with the George Group Virtual Coach software tool. The impact of late computers in worker non-productivity costs, expediting costs, possible higher computer costs, and customer dissatisfaction estimated at: • $12K of Type 1 o Assumptions - 6 waves of BB training over the next 12 months following completion of project, $2000/wave of additional computer costs for expediting, etc. • $48K of Type 2 o Assumptions - 6 waves of BB training over the next 12 months following completion of project, 40 hours of extra expediting and handling per wave, $75 per hour of labor • Other Benefits (Type 3) o Increased student learning and ultimately better project success Problem Statement Where: The problem has been noticed at Shangri-la Higher Education Training Center, the only training location to-date When: The problem has been noticed since October 2004 to date, covering the first two waves of LSS BB training. What (output metrics): • Quality metric #1: % of properly loaded laptop computers with designated software load as measured by % of total computers loaded correctly the 1st time • Quality metric #2: % computers delivered by day 1 of Team Accelerator training as measured by % of total computers delivered late. • Speed metric #1: time to prepare BB training computers as measured by the time from final wave roster to all computers ready for delivery. • Cost metric #1: Cost per fully loaded computer as measured by total costs of computer readiness divided by total computers delivered. Costs should not include expediting, temporary computer costs, or excessive labor costs. Extent: Baseline Quality metric #1: To date, X% of computers are loaded correctly first time Baseline Quality metric #2: To date, 0% of computers are delivered by day 1 of Team Accelerator Training Baseline Speed metric #1: To date, the average cycle time to have a computer ready for delivery is 4 weeks Baseline Cost metric #1: Current cost is $X,000 per computer load.
