In building on what we learned, with the help of IT we established a sales and operations planning (S&OP) dashboard. One key element in this, not to be overlooked, as this was the first enterprise-wide analytics system implemented, whereas the roadmap was all departmentalized spreadsheets which were prone to errors. Data was compiled at the SKU level which allowed us to identify how product categories were performing at each customer. POS data that came in via electronic data interface (EDI)…

UMPhysicians’ ability to compete on analytics is fairly high among academic healthcare systems. Our ability is directly fed by our position held on these matters – to win out by employing analytics toward an end or two – patient satisfaction, provider satisfaction. Even though our analytical products/tools have been licensed and purchased at rather “vanilla” levels (as described by our COO of Revenue Cycle and others involved in their purchase) our data analysts themselves compensate for any…

It is called two dimension space because it has two axes: the x-axes and the y-axes. Three dimensional space is represented by the symbol it is called three dimensional space because three axes are used to draw, and the three axes are: x, y, and z. Figure 01: Standard axes of 3 dimensions This is the standard axes…

Fear of the future is one phobia that every so often gets a grip of us all. Wilkinson continues to assert, "We look out into the future, trying our best to make wise decisions, only to find ourselves staring into the teeth of ferocious and widespread uncertainties. If only everything didn't depend on, well, everything else. How do we decide what kind of career path to pursue when it's not clear what industries will exist in 10 or 15 years? How do we plan our children's education when we can't…

Questions: Answer all questions given What kind of relationship did you see in your D vs T graphs (both hand and computer)? Do these relationships make sense? Explain!
