5. Q UANTUM Business Enterprises Basic Demo Example of Automated Quantum Data Reports 1- Have you recently reviewed the information that you have always wanted to get from your organization’s business systems, but that you have not yet managed to retrieve with ease and at low cost ? We would like to advise you to do it now … 2- You may already be aware that: “The complete analysis is available right there ! In the numbers ! We just have to ……”But why is it neither completed nor fully automated yet ? And is your plan to do it in a way that does not require any Management time and resource to produce and distribute ? (we would make this a very good case study for 5 whys introspection) 3- You may believe that: “We are close to get it regularly and reliably, because we have been working on it for ….. So long”. Are you really very happy with the progress you see ? Without any reservation ? 4- You may believe that you have already made sufficient progress recently… and that more effort is “not really necessary” or more symptomatically “not possible” (and what about “not desirable” ??). This mostly happens to be the case when an organization’s internal task-force has recently achieved some improvements. Just because the team may be unaware of other progress made in other industries or by the competition should not be an excuse for complacency. Companies who refute the need for constant adaptation simply get caught up and die (Lean Philosophy Fundamental Principle). The only relevant question for you today is to determine what must be done next, and how to achieve it in a Low-Cost but Efficient Way that guaranties further improvement for your Bottom Line. Quantum’s first job and expertise is to bring you PROVEN TOOLS to HELP YOU DO THIS. If any or all of the above sounds familiar, remember that various large multi-billion dollar blue chip companies have turned to Quantum BE for superior performance in Lean Operation Management and Operational Data mining and analysis.
