4 ENTERPRISE OPERATIONAL INTELLIGENCE

IN TODAY’S FAST CHANGING WORLD—BI IS NOT ENOUGH! The Aerospace and Defense (A&D) sector is driven by the need to balance budgets, profit, and operational performance and effect. There is a requirement to manage expectations of military or airline operators as well as industrial manufacturers and service pro-viders. The approach adopted needs to optimize a complex enterprise scenario of complex assets, expensive maintenance, and extended operational life—and do this cheaper, more effectively, making assets quicker to deploy, while also reducing the logistics overhead and footprint.

THE CHANGING WORLDMilitary doctrine has changed significantly over the past 20 years. The change of emphasis from static forces to force projection and expeditionary warfare as well as extended peacekeeping operations demands rapid deployment and flexibility to support a whole new operational and supply model for equipment acquisition and through-life management. Modern business models, such as contractor logistics support (CLS), performance-based logistics (PBL), contracting for availability (CfA), and product support agreement (PSA) programs have become the norm.

The same is true in the Civil Aviation sector. Modern airline fleet management demands both operational effectiveness and financial efficiency,

particularly with over 70% of the whole-life costs of complex equipment incurred during in-service support. Power-by-the-hour or total care type contracts have also become increasingly significant, making the availability of the aircraft, engines and aircraft components the primary driver for operational success, but this must be achieved within a robust financial structure, under increasing regulatory control and with the impact of globalization.

In response to these dramatic changes, organizations around the world are focused on capabilities that balance operational effectiveness and through-life costs. The level of innovation and sophistication of platforms requires specialist knowledge and support to achieve the levels of readiness, operational effectiveness and financial efficiency demanded driven by the mantra of ‘more for less’.

The key to success with all these solutions and initiatives within A&D is end-to-end access to timely, accurate and complete information in which commanders and aviation fleet planners can have absolute confidence through efficient and effective business processes operating with that data.

Technology changes, increased regulatory demands and the ‘Internet of Things’ in its various guises will lead to huge volumes of data that in itself will require systems and applications that can

objectives and context of an Aerospace & Defense organization and with its detailed end-to-end processes. Decisions and judgments rely on having a complete, timely picture—an enterprise picture—to support the decision-making process with dynamic monitoring as circumstances change. HOW DO WE GET THERE WITH IFS EOI?IFS Applications offers customers a range of tools to deliver visual insight, to understand enterprise performance and enable better decision making. IFS EOI forms part of the IFS visual insight strategy.The IFS EOI for Aerospace & Defense solution goes beyond the methods adopted by traditional business intelligence (BI) tools and enables a full 360 degree perspective of processes and performance. It provides senior management with the capability to review and orchestrate processes that align with their business strategy and drive these into end-users’ desktop functions. Avoiding strategy leakage. It also provides end-users with a complete understanding of which functions deliver real customer value, those that are less effective, and those which waste both time and resources. The solution is about executing the strategy, not having the best strategic story.

VISUAL INSIGHT—ENTERPRISE WIDE

optimize and use that data to the benefit of all stakeholders. Solutions will be required to manage the security of supply, identify consumer patterns and ultimately provide all users with the empower-ment needed to make their own decisions. For large A&D organizations in Defense or Civil Aviation to be able to react at the pace that regulatory bodies, customers and consumers demand, requires immediate access to not just data but, information across the enterprise and in the context of the processes that underpin an organization—how effective is the whole enterprise operating (not the performance of a single department)? The requirement is to map, monitor and manage the strategy from an enterprise perspective. The focus needs to be on capabilities that balance operational effectiveness and through-life costs with meeting safety, corporate social responsibility and regulatory governance requirements.

THE DATA CHALLENGEThe key to enterprise success and the effectiveness of all the supporting solutions and initiatives is end-to-end access to timely, accurate and complete information in which managers and planners can have absolute confidence. But, alone this information is not enough. It needs to be aligned to strategic
