IBM Cognos Performance Blueprints are helping electronics companies align sales, marketing, finance and operations to drive better informed, more effective planning; react quickly to changes in demand and supply; and measure their progress against key performance objectives.
Each blueprint incorporates models for operational and initiative planning, modeling, reporting and analysis – along with proven practices we have learned from working with top organizations around the world.
The IBM Cognos SCOR Performance Blueprint provides more than 400 pre-defined metrics that link to the performance attributes of the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model, developed by the Supply Chain Council.
This Blueprint integrates planning activities across finance, operations, production, purchasing, sales and marketing. Using a common platform and workflow, departments can coordinate their sales and production plans and scenarios, forecasts, revenues and campaigns to create enterprise-wide alignment.
The IBM Cognos S&OP Executive Review Performance Blueprint facilitates periodic S&OP reviews by senior management. Complementing the IBM Cognos S&OP Performance Blueprint, it helps executives evaluate performance against the existing plan, identify any business or market changes that might necessitate changes to the plan and make necessary adjustments.
