Forecasting Software & Data Analysis Tools
MJC˛'s i-Data forecasting & analysis toolset provides demand forecasting, capacity planning, real-time data analysis, performance evaluation and MIS reporting capabilities. i-Data is fully e-enabled to allow automatic data capture from remote sites via intranet or internet, and integrates easily with ERP databases and tracking systems. Sophisticated decision support tools and flexible reporting modules enable rapid and effective performance evaluation.
Demand Forecasting Software
Based on historical sales or demand data, i-Data creates strategic-level long-term demand forecasts which can be used for capacity planning, as well as shorter-term estimates of demand which can be used for tactical or operational planning of manufacturing, logistics and staffing. i-Data uses a wide range of load forecasting systems and analysis techniques, and can be configured to take account of business-specific rules and trends. Our forecasting software is straightforward to use, and can be integrated easily with legacy databases to extract historical data. All planning, forecasting and reporting functionality is driven by powerful and intuitive graphical user interfaces, and i-Data integrates naturally with our toolsets such as SLIM (supply chain forecasting), PIMSS (production forecasting) and e-Stock (inventory forecasting) to facilitate logistics, manufacturing and replenishment planning. i-Data is typically used for business forecasting applications such as resource forecasting or manufacturing forecasting.
Capacity Planning
Our capacity planning tools enable forward planning of operational resources based on demand/activity forecasts generated by i-Data. Integration with our logistics network optimization systems allows the impact of anticipated demand on the logistics operation to be analysed. Our advanced manufacturing software creates capacity plans for production operations to optimize factory & plant utilisation at the strategic level and our rostering systems use demand forecasts to automatically generate future staff shift patterns, identifying potential shortfalls or opportunities for efficiency improvements.
Real-time Data Analysis & Monitoring Software
i-Data automatically monitors and reports on real-time information such as quality control data, laboratory sampling data, survey results, actual sales, etc. The performance monitoring program can automatically capture real-time data from sources such as mobile computers, laboratories, sales databases and EPOS systems, processing the incoming information and generating alerts if important or worrying patterns are identified. i-Data's data processing algorithms can be configured to analyse and report on data according to specific operational requirements, ensuring that only important information is highlighted, while routine information can be summarised in periodic reports. i-Data provides decision support tools to enable users to analyse the current state of the operation based on real-time data and to make informed decisions about how to react to trends or unexpected behaviour.
Performance Evaluation Software
i-Data enables detailed performance measurement of resources and staff based on historical activity data. Base data can be captured via a wide range of mechanisms, including hand-held or mobile computer terminals, interfaces to SCADA or process control systems, interfaces to vehicle tracking and engine management systems, or integration with workflow management databases. Our performance evaluation software includes sophisticated analysis and data mining tools which can be used to quickly identify trends or patterns, using advanced selection criteria to highlight areas which need attention, and producing customisable reports at an operational or management level.
MIS Reporting Software
i-Data offers a powerful and effective medium through which information can be transmitted and analysed. Containing powerful business intelligence software tools, i-Data facilitates the automatic delivery of routine MIS reports, as well as the production of strategic analyses and periodic reviews. Driven by advanced graphical interfaces, i-Data offers the user extended interactive capabilities including database querying, drill-down functionality and report configuration.
