Data-driven decision-making has become over- whelming for many industries. Pressures and responses to such concerns as globalization, performance margins, integrating supply chains and balancing costs with customer service have produced voluminous amounts of data at previously unthinkable levels.

Information overload is more prevalent than ever in today’s manufacturing industry. According to Adrian Ott in her book The 24-Hour Customer, people see more than 34 billion pieces of information (the equivalent of two books) every day. With the wide adoption of mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones, executives and other decision makers involved in managing the supply chain can drown in emails, work-related conversations and numerous key performance indicators (KPIs). The good news is: there are solutions. Newer approaches to managing information, such as shallow-dive analytics, indirect KPIs and real-time KPIs can help companies manage the fire hose of information and bring more insight to business decisions. These new approaches do not reduce the amount of information. Rather, they focus business teams on providing the right insights for optimal decision making.
