* How BSC can link and facilitate strategy planning
* Performance management measurement through Balanced Scorecard
* BSC as business intelligence to help organisation build strategic direction and measure the progress of strategic execution
Performance management involves tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) to align decisions with corporate goals. An effective performance dashboard provides real-time data visualization of KPIs, allows drill-down into data, and is customizable. True performance dashboards also use compatible data sources and are quick to deploy. Identifying value-adding processes, standards, and implementing dashboards or balanced scorecards are important parts of performance management.
The document discusses the sales and operational planning (S&OP) process. It provides an overview of S&OP, including definitions, objectives, critical success factors, challenges, benefits, leaders, policies, and implementation. S&OP is described as a monthly executive-level process that reconciles supply and demand plans, ties operations to financial plans, and sets strategy. The goals are to improve coordination, communication, inventory management, and meet customer demand profitably.
Made this for a final interview to head the PMO for a big retail transformation across the United States. I didn't get it, think I was #2 or final 3, but thought others might get some value out of it. Left my PMO slides in at the front. Just laying out some of the decisions and options for fodder for others.
Key performance indicators (KPIs) are critical for any organization to set, as they show how successful the organization has been at achieving its strategic objectives. KPIs should be clearly communicated and linked to an organization's strategy. They should also be relevant, under control, enable actions for improvement, simple to explain, and not easily manipulated. KPIs can measure things like employees, customers, finances, processes and costs. Setting the right KPIs mirrors an organization's vision, sets goals at all levels, is based on data, and drives the right actions.
Key performance indicators (KPIs) measure how well a business is achieving its objectives. KPIs should be simple, easy to interpret and show actual performance compared to targets. There are five categories of operational KPIs: safety, quality, delivery, cost, and motivation. A well-defined set of KPIs that are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound can drive improvement and culture change within an organization to help it better target objectives and control performance.
The ROI of Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) MaturitySteelwedge
How far is your company on its Sales and Operations Planning maturity journey? Have you hit a brick wall? According to Gartner, nearly 70% of manufacturers are getting "stuck" at Stage 2 maturity: balancing supply and demand.
The vast majority of companies use Excel to power their S&OP. While no one ever abandons Excel, those who try to power through maturity with only Excel or a collection of disparate, unconnected solutions, usually hit a brick wall when it comes time to driving collaboration and scale in their plans.

Is Your S and OP Process Solving Problems - Peter MurrayPeter Murray
The document discusses how to ensure an S&OP/IBP process is effective at solving business problems. It recommends frequently asking stakeholders if the process is solving problems and, if not, determining why. Common reasons for failure include inability to agree, reliance on other methods, and stakeholders changing roles. To position S&OP as the primary problem-solving method, companies should determine what problems need solving, if other processes are used instead of S&OP, and if S&OP meetings allow open discussion to get things done. The document also provides strategies to evaluate and improve the S&OP process, such as reinforcing its focus on problem solving.
Sales and operations planning (S&OP) is a process that achieves alignment between various functions of an organization including sales, production, inventory and finance. It develops a coordinated operating plan that balances supply and demand at a volume level in support of customer demand and business strategy. The S&OP process results in monthly planning activities based on an annual operations plan and provides benefits such as enhanced teamwork, better decision making and financial planning, and increased accountability.
Product portfolio management involves managing multiple products and prioritizing them. It is important to identify a single source of truth for product data, typically a tool like JIRA. This allows automating tasks like planning, tracking status, and identifying resource needs. It provides transparency by letting all stakeholders see changes and their impact. Managing a product portfolio well requires consolidating products, platforms, skills mapping, and automating as many processes as possible to handle the complexities involved.

Measuring Business Success: Lean MetricsWillie Carter
Measuring success in a business is crucial for identifying areas of improvement and making informed decisions. Lean metrics are particularly useful in this regard because they focus on efficiency, waste reduction, and continuous improvement. Lean metrics enable you to measure, evaluate, and respond to your organization’s current performance in a balanced approach – without sacrificing the quality of your products or services to meet quantity objectives. Properly designed lean metrics also enable you to consider the important “respect for people” factors necessary for your organization’s success.
The choice of Lean metrics should align with your business goals and accurately portray your organization’s performance and processes. You should also consider the total number of metrics to use. Using too many metrics can confuse your employees and slow your performance/process improvement initiative. On the other hand, using too few might not provide you with enough detail to properly focus your process improvement efforts. Once you decide on which metrics to use, regularly tracking and analyzing these metrics will help you identify areas for improvement and make data-driven decisions to optimize your business operations.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM
- **Efficient Use of Bandwidth**: TDM all
