12

Ask a Strategic Question

• The more specific the better.

• Must have data available to answer question.

• Question can address data.

• Consider existing questions.

Define Objectives

• Steps required to answer question.

• Sub‐questions of the broader strategic question.

• Should be specific and attainable.

10/2/2015

13

Obtain Data

Work directly with IT department.

Begin communications early.

Consider cross‐training personnel.

Required data: Data for analysis

Data for follow‐up

Develop Procedures

Start simple and expand:

Single ad hoc procedure

Automated single procedure

Automated groups of procedures

Scheduled analytics

10/2/2015

14

Analyze Results

Are there false positives in the results?

What do the results tell us?

Have we found causation or correlation?

What can we do to verify/further research these results?

Have we met our objectives and/or answered the strategic question?

Manage Results

Develop a plan for follow‐up.

Consider how routinely procedures should occur.

Use results to facilitate change.

Application Example: Fleet Management

What can we do to minimize fleet downtime due to repairs & maintenance?

Strategic Question

10/2/2015

16

• Determine impact of vehicle make/model on downtime.

• Identify common repairs and required parts.

• Identify causes of extended maintenance time.

• Determine proactive maintenance that improves downtime.

Define Objectives

• Basic vehicle information:– Make, model, year, driver, use, etc.

• Repairs &  maintenance history.

• Diagnostic information.

• Other relevant data.

Obtain Data

10/2/2015

17

• Correlation between downtime and age of vehicle.

• Average downtime by repair type.

• Average downtime by maintenance procedure.

• Correlation between repairs and maintenance schedules.

Develop Procedures

• Are there other relevant variables?

• Does the data contain false positives due to data quality?

• Have we met our objectives?

• Did we forget anything in our analysis?

Analyze Results

10/2/2015

18

• Develop a preventative maintenance plan for each vehicle make/model/year.

• Educate drivers on impact of delayed maintenance.

• Assess other operational impacts of analysis results.

Closing Thoughts

“ ”We’re discovering in nature that simplicity often lies on the other side of complexity.  So for any problem, the more you can zoom out and embrace complexity, the better chance you have of zooming in on the simple details that matter most.
