The Problem with Preparing Good Monthly Reports
- Generally, data mining and analysis are not a top priority among operating personnel.
- Even though routine feedback is vital to a successful operation, daily pressures and priorities take precedence.
- Monthly technical reports are relegated to the new engineer, the office assistant, or just not done.
- Good data analysis methods must be understood and learned.
- It takes both knowledge and experience to do an effective job.
- Senior operating personnel who can do a reliable analysis either do not want to be "stuck" doing reports or are just too busy to do them.
- Junior operating personnel generally do not have the experience to do an in-depth analysis, even though they have excellent training.
- As a result, many businesses have very poor data with which to do problem solving, long range planning, market forecasting, and peer comparisons.
Why Not Outsource Data Mining, Analysis, and Reporting?
- Why live with poor information or have valuable people do "back office" work?
