DSS can help management by simplifying data analysis so they can spend more time thinking strategically. Management should focus on understanding business needs rather than technical details. DSS also challenges beliefs by providing new insights from simulations. The presenter's organization took several approaches to using DSS, starting with optimizing delivery logistics and moving to softer processes. Some case studies showed DSS optimizing transport saturation, reducing defects in product displays, and investigating new picking methods. Key lessons are that DSS are a mindset, not just technology, and change management is critical to success. DSS can help enlarge strategic thinking while also improving operations.

Lean supply chain management is challenging because so much happens outside the four walls. Time compression and inventory velocity are important in achieving end-to-end inventory speed. The benefits include higher inventory turns, less working capital, less cash burn, better cash flow, improved revenue yield maximization, and less write downs.
Inventory begins upstream where suppliers are and should flow.

More firms are implementing lean inventory management techniques to reduce costs, improve flexibility and have more time to focus on their customers. Lean supply chain and inventory management enable Small Medium Businesses (SMB) to improve efficiency and increase profits.
As firms look to reduce waste, increase turns and be more flexible with their inventory, management professionals have attempted to identify how lean techniques can be adopted to build flexible and collaborative inventory.
Current references like APICS (American Production Inventory Control Society) shows that nearly 30 percent of companies are adopting lean principles in their inventory management.
What is Lean Inventory Management?
“Lean” refers to a systematic approach to enhancing value in a company’s inventory by identifying and eliminating waste of materials, effort and time through continuous improvement in pursuit of perfection.
Lean management movement is credited to Henry Ford, who in the 1920s applied the concept of “continuous flow” in the assembly-line process. Over the years, the concept has been modified and applied to nearly all industries.
Lean inventory management techniques are built upon five principles:
• Value : Define the value that your company will get from lean inventory management.
• Flow: Understand how inventory flows in your warehouse and apply Lean principle: 5S to clear any obstacles that do not add up.
• Pull (Lean principle: Kanban) : Move inventory only when requested by customer.

What is SPI IQ? What is it used for, what are the applications, and what are the benefits/ROI? Advanced Analytics and Business Intelligence for the Retail space. Presented by Matthew Robinson (Director of Sales Engineering, SPI) at the 2016 SPI Conference.
Management consultants are brutally efficient. They not only are taught to do their work fast, but also are very good in selecting the right issues. I know it from first-hand experience as I spent my first 5 years in this hostile environment of top consulting companies. Yes, we worked sometimes 10-15 hours a day; 6-7 days a week but we managed with a small team to do in 3 months what the whole company was not able to do in years. Management consultants’ efficiency stems from 3 things: good organization, efficiency in daily activities and extremely good skills in picking the right topics. I think that those skills are crucial and I will teach how to acquire them.
In this presentation I will show you how to do the right things fast and efficiently so you can enjoy fully your work and life (depending what are your priorities ;) . The presentation is based on my 11 years of experience as a consultant in top consulting companies and as a Board Member responsible for strategy, improvement and turn-arounds in biggest companies from FMCG, SMG, B2B sector that I worked for. On the basis of what you will find in this course I have trained over 100 business analysts and consultants who now are Investment Directors, Senior Analyst, Directors in Consulting Companies, Board Members etc.
I do not like to overcomplicate things so in every lecture I will be quite straightforward. In every lecture I described a different hack and I give examples how to use it, especially in services such as consulting. To every lecture you will find attached (in additional resources) many useful files: examples shown in the lecture, furthers suggestion, exercises etc.. If you don’t find something that you need let me know - I will try to prepare something and I will add to the presentation
In the presentation I use 6 main frameworks: 80/20 rule (Pareto Principle), lean manufacturing, theory of constraints, getting things done, critical chain method, lean startup
Lean manufacturing for Management Consultants and Business AnalystsAsen Gyczew

How to manage successfully a Consulting ProjectAsen Gyczew
Managing Consulting Projects is extremely difficult. You work in a hostile environment, long hours on difficult things. On top of that the bill for your services for the customer is pretty high so he will want to squeeze out of you as much as possible. At the same time his people may dislike you as you are an outsider that in their point of view pretends to know better. Therefore, many Project Managers fail on deadlines or cannot deliver value for the customer. Luckily there is a way to do a consulting project on time, get your customer and his people happy with the result as well as get well paid for your work. This course will help you drastically improve your knowledge and skills in managing consulting project. It is designed for project managers, especially those working in consulting. After finishing the course you will know:
1. How to prepare for the project to make your customer and your team happy as well to finish the project much earlier than your competitors
2. How to create value for your customer
3. How to deliver the project within the budget and way ahead of deadlines

Agile Inception Strategies : Presented by Khaarthigha SubramanianoGuild .
Agile Inception using Innovative and Collaborative techniques & Gamification came for rescue, But now this is also diluted a lot and becoming in-effective. But used well, this is highly effective even to discover more than what we are focusing and help channel the investments for the clients.
We took a real world problem that is meaningful to all attendees and used the following techniques as a real inception
– Describing the objectives of inception and inception outcomes
– Setting the vision
– Identify Competing constraints and decouple them
– Understand nuances of client relationship and being dynamic in modelling the solution
– Stakeholder mapping and communication plan
– Assumption mapping and hypotheses prioritisation
– Traceability of user needs to business goals through impact mapping.
Data management solutions always look good “on paper”. When it's just a matter of proposals and ROI projections on gleaming white stock, the “abstract” seems perfect. It's only when you go live, and real people get involved that things can get messy. If you don't have a clear, strategic implementation plan in place, who knows what could happen.
You need a plan. And Synergis has a proven plan. During this webcast, you’ll discover...
• Why creating alignment and generating positive buzz are essential to success
• What 6 critical steps must be followed to insure successful implementation
• Which best practices will make you a hero
• The most common pitfalls that impact ROI
The art of problem solving --> ensure you right the right business requiremen...Chris Lamoureux

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

5. Agenda
• What about DSS?
• The role of management
(and Innovation manager too)
• Approaches, paths and results:
some cases
• Conclusions
6. THE ROLE OF MANAGEMENT
FROM manage people that
analyze for you
(and, first elaborate too)
TO manage people that think
about problems and discuss
about different point of view
(it’s simpler to create a lot of different
points of view)

8. THE ROLE OF
MANAGEMENT
Innovation Manager doesn’t mean only
innovation issue but it’s an holistic
vision that could be activated by the
evolution of technology and the power
of synthesis.
9. THE ROLE OF
MANAGEMENT
“I am a ‘Top’, I must remain with a ‘high
view’ to think, decide and manage at best”
(as if details were not really of the top managers but... "dirty stuff")
WHY ??
Details and vision strategies
are not in antithesis !!
10. SIMPLIFYING IS NOT TRIVIALIZING
• A «math» example:
Trivializing:
«Everything you divide by zero, will be infinitive»
In particular in this case that numerator remain «small»
into range -1, 1.
So result is:
11. SIMPLIFYING IS NOT TRIVIALIZING
• A «math» example Simplifying:
Knowledges
Someone must be knows
Taylor Series
Technical
competences
with «customer» view, vertical
skills with business approach to
understand which simplified
version could be solved by
anyone
Simplified version
that could be solved
by anyone
So result is:
12. SIMPLIFYING IS NOT TRIVIALIZING
Math example to summarise what?
• Trivializing is often «son of ignorance»
«Everything you divide by zero, will be infinitive»
• Details are not «dirty stuff» for a «top manager»
Would be interesting to define this «label»…
• Simplyfing of details are essential and needs people with knowledges and
technical competences with business view
DSS help their to spend more time to understand business requirements
13. SIMPLIFYING IS NOT TRIVIALIZING
Math example to summarise what?
• Experience are very important and make the difference but with the
“partnership” with DSS and their evolution
Think about you professional career: do you remember a «fail decision
episode» driven by too much confidence in experience only?
• Some DSS results (in particular in predictive and simulation systems) are
difficult to accept because challenging our beliefs.
14. AGENDA
• What about DSS?
• The role of management
(and Innovation manager too)
• Approaches, paths and results:
some cases
• Conclusions
15. APPROACHES, PATHS AND RESULTS
• Start with «hard operation activities»… are more understandable.
• Will arrive at «soft organization processes»:
– Now we are into a workload project (with the innovative approach that I showed at DSF
2017 «The Brick-Lego paradigma»)
– We will use DSS to support best organization processes decision
• Improve your competences about those issues during projects
• «Culture» and «mind-gap» are key success factors
16. APPROACHES, PATHS AND RESULTS
1. Routing Delivery Planner
to reduce transport costs
(best rate with
outsourcer
transportation company)
6. Internal Routing and
efficiency: optimizing
picking method
(double fork with
same or different
store)
2. Service Level and Key operation
driver to understand how
outsourcer can be more efficient
3. Logistics Management
(where and how to manage goods
into existing DC maintaining the
same service level)
4. Logistics Scenarioes
(how to modify delivery
and goods position
maintening service level)
5. Internal Routing
and efficiency:
optimizing Display
Scenarioes, Vision and
Strategies
Operative and support
daily activities
7. Automatization impacts:
right sizing with re-simulation
approach (total cost and
investment: internal and
transportation)
And
… START
AGAIN!
8. Demand,
inventory and
replenishment
9. WorkLoad and
Store operation
Modelizing
(DSF ’17)
17. SOME CASES: 2. SERVICE LEVEL
• Simulation with different supports to increase transport saturation
– Half-height stackable plastic pallet crates.
– Re-design picking sequence lists
• Results:
– Up to 18% higher saturation level (with maximum height constrain)
– Reduce total mileage with same calendar
18. SOME CASES: 5. OPTIMIZING DISPLAY
• Simulation with optimized display (but fixed-picking position) and
measuring defects in order to:
– Category compatibilities of goods
– Weight and height constrain
– Rotation class
• Results:
– - 40% of Low defects
– - 58% of Medium defects
– - 71% of Serious defects
Result are versus manual
optimized display defined by
outsourcer expert of logistic
company
«Challenging our belief»
19. SOME CASES: 7. PICKING METHODS
New long forklift truck with weight detect system
Real problem: increase defects (probability of wrong goods position between
two different stores) ?
Simulation must be achievable
How z-pick Method can be combined with simultaneous different stores picking
(with long forklift)?
20. SOME CASES: 7. PICKING METHODS
Stores
Big
Stores
Small
Stores
Level of usage
% of «standard Long
forklift»
% of «weight detect
long forklift»
Stores association
also depends on
their delivery
calendar
21. SOME CASES: 7. PICKING METHODS
Interesting «investigation area»
22. APPROACHES, PATHS AND RESULTS: MISTAKES
• Approaches: detail level?
– Too fine too time to obtain small better solution
– Too high raw solution that could be «trivial»
Use simulation
You cannot improve simulation
without specific experience (in
diversified business too)
You must know what you can do with the simulation
You don’t have to know «how to do» the simulation
• Paths:
– Buy and install Arena SW
– Training to specialize dedicated person
23. AGENDA
• What about DSS?
• The role of management
(and Innovation manager too)
• Approaches, paths and results:
some cases
• Conclusions
24. CONCLUSIONS
• Improve your assimilation about those issues.
• DSS are not technology but are a «mentality»
• It’s ever important to know technicality but
now is simpler
(Really?? – Really!!)
• You can use DSS in operating activities or into
strategic approaches
(better if project is well defined and consider
all these two aspects)
25. CONCLUSIONS
• Change management is the key
success factor (and training too)
• Complexity increases, so simplifying
is a must.
Competences are fundamental: we
can spend more time to understand
what we can do and the impact of
details in simulations and vision
strategy.
26. CONCLUSIONS: THE SPHERE OF KNOWLEDGE
DSS help to enlarge vision,
think about different
approaches, improve
innovation, drive operating
activities.

Technincal competences interno o esterno con orientamento ai processi e conoscenza del Business (sempre più le aziende IT stanno allargando il loro perimetro perché la conoscenza dei processi è elemento chiave, come il metodo (i.e. Agile), la parte di «consulenza» integrata..
Cmq VISIONE DI INSIEME: PROCESSI, STRUMENTI e ORGANIZZAZIONE vanno visti insieme.
ESPERIENZA E DSS riducono il rischio… INSIEME.
Semplificare non è banalizzare
E spesso la banalizzazione è figlia di «ignoranza»
Banalizzare (spesso anche «ignorare»): qualsiasi «cosa» diviso zero fa infinito.
Semplificare (conoscendo la materia e passando anche da passaggi complessi)
Lo stesso dicasi per le famose «medie» o le medie delle medie… ecc.
Sicuramente questa è una platea evoluta ma sono certo che nella vostra esperienza professionale avrete in mente delle «cantonate» prese, anche da decisori importanti, proprio per una eccessiva «Confidenza» sulla propria esperienza e un oggettivo approccio alla banalizzazione
D’altronde alcuni risultati ci mettono fortemente in discussione e si fatica, ancora, a crederci.
D’altronde ci sono ancora situazioni dove avere un numero attendibile è «complicato» o per l’architettura o «oggettivamente complicato» (i.e. driver dinamici di produttività di cui parlerò dopo per il WorkLoad).
