EARLY-WARNING DATA-INFORMED BUSINESS SPEND AND ACTUATION
Data management is disclosed that detects changes in production or potential changes in production to trigger business decisions that inform business spend. Sensor input meant to monitor manufacturing and event correlation data can serve as input to trigger business decisions. The decisions can account for cost structures to ensure automated investments in the interest of the business or other organization. The data management links an early understanding of production data and business decisions to increase the link between manufacturing investment and business spend and to decrease waste including economic waste.
1 . A method, comprising:
generating tags for data received from sensors in a manufacturing environment configured to manufacture a product;
executing rules by a rules engine on the tags to identify variations in values of the data compared to expected values of the data;
performing a cost analysis to compare a cost of manufacturing the product with sales and/or marketing investment;
triggering a first notification to initiate a business actuation based on a result of the cost analysis, wherein the first notification is triggered before of when an even occurs and business actuation includes spend recommendations; and
performing the business actuation based on the result of the cost analysis.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving event information related to an anticipated event or an occurring event.
3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
analyzing the event information to determine one or more of a geographic impact of the event, a nature of the event, a radius of the event, a time frame of the event and performing a threat assessment, and
performing an impact analysis that analyzes an impact of the event on consumption and an impact of the event on production, wherein the impact on consumption includes an analysis on a total product impact, available distribution to a new area, time to distribute the product, and a cost to move the product, wherein the impact on production includes an analysis on a cost of production, a time to production, and a cost to create consumption pipeline.
4 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising triggering a second notification to initiate a manufacturing actuation based on the result of the cost analysis, wherein the cost analysis accounts for a cost associated with the event.
5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising monitoring a threshold and generating the first notification when a threshold for the event is exceeded.
6 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the business actuation relates to increasing or decreasing marketing spend and/or sales spend, and wherein manufacturing actuation relates to optimizing or reducing manufacture.
7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing machine learning to increase a time between detection of an anticipated event and occurrence of the event.
8 . A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein instructions that are executable by one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
generating tags for data received from sensors in a manufacturing environment configured to manufacture a product;
executing rules by a rules engine on the tags to identify variations in values of the data compared to expected values of the data;
performing a cost analysis to compare a cost of manufacturing the product with sales and/or marketing investment;
triggering a first notification to initiate a business actuation based on a result of the cost analysis, wherein the first notification is triggered before of when an even occurs and business actuation includes spend recommendations; and
performing the business actuation based on the results of the cost analysis.
9 . The non-transitory storage medium of claim 8 , further comprising receiving event information related to an anticipated event or an occurring event.
10 . The non-transitory storage medium of claim 9 , further comprising:
analyzing the event information to determine one or more of a geographic impact of the event, a nature of the event, a radius of the event, a time frame of the event and performing a threat assessment, and
performing an impact analysis that analyzes an impact of the event on consumption and an impact of the event on production, wherein the impact on consumption includes an analysis on a total product impact, available distribution to a new area, time to distribute the product, and a cost to move the product, wherein the impact on production includes an analysis on a cost of production, a time to production, and a cost to create consumption pipeline.
11 . The non-transitory storage medium of claim 9 , further comprising triggering a second notification to initiate a manufacturing actuation based on the result of the cost analysis, wherein the cost analysis accounts for a cost associated with the event.
12 . The non-transitory storage medium of claim 11 , further comprising monitoring a threshold and generating the first notification when a threshold for the event is exceeded.
13 . The non-transitory storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the business actuation relates to increasing or decreasing marketing spend and/or sales spend, and wherein a manufacturing actuation relates to optimizing or reducing manufacture.
14 . The non-transitory storage medium of claim 8 , further comprising performing machine learning to increase a time between detection of an anticipated event and occurrence of the event.
15 . A method, comprising:
generating tags for data received from sensors in a manufacturing environment configured to manufacture a product;
executing rules by a rules engine on the tags to identify variations in values of the data compared to expected values of the data;
performing a cost analysis to compare a cost of manufacturing the product with sales and/or marketing investment; and
triggering a first notification to initiate a manufacturing actuation based on a result of the cost analysis, wherein the first notification is triggered before or when an event occurs and manufacturing actuation includes adjusting production; and
performing the manufacturing actuation based on the result of the cost analysis.
16 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising receiving event information related to an anticipated event or an occurring event.
17 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising:
analyzing the event information to determine one or more of a geographic impact of the event, a nature of the event, a radius of the event, a time frame of the event and performing a threat assessment, and
performing an impact analysis that analyzes an impact of the event on consumption and an impact of the event on production, wherein the impact on consumption includes an analysis on a total product impact, available distribution to a new area, time to distribute the product, and a cost to move the product, wherein the impact on production includes an analysis on a cost of production, a time to production, and a cost to create consumption pipeline.
18 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising triggering a second notification to initiate the manufacturing actuation based on the result of the cost analysis, wherein the cost analysis accounts for a cost associated with the event.
19 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
performing machine learning to increase a time between detection of an anticipated event and occurrence of the event,
wherein a business actuation relates to increasing or decreasing marketing spend and/or sales spend, and wherein the manufacturing actuation relates to optimizing or reducing manufacture.
20 . A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein instructions that are executable by one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising the method of claim 15 .
