Provides the right performance metrics and easy information access
Decision Support is a powerful software solution for analyzing and reporting production. It helps to improve mill performance by providing the right performance metrics combined with the complete transparency of the production process.
The dimensional data model of Decision Support allows performance and production analysis from several different perspectives. The easy-to-use ad hoc reporting functions supplement the pre-built reports. The solution finds a wide range of users from the production floor to the corporate management.
On the top level, Decision Support provides an overall picture of the mill operations, including production data, inventories and quality metrics. On a more detailed level, Production managers can easily retrieve data for their needs, e.g. quickly reveal the root causes of emerging problems. Development personnel can track the impact of innovations and investments on productivity and quality. Financing and controlling people get reliable data and the reports they need for their work.
