But it had its limitations, of course. For instance, if I wanted to know what the HEINEKEN canning capacity was in Asia, I would have to sum up 20+ Excel files to sum up the data for all the breweries. There was no global master data in place either. But we still need them to input their data to get global insights.

If yours is not one of those businesses, and you’re confident in your KPI suite and the relevance of the data it provides, congratulations! Of course, you can have as many other metrics as you like, but the KPIs are the ones that should form a catalyst for action. If your KPIs are common ones, it shouldn’t be a problem, of course.

What I find about benchmarking is it is often an internal exercise to justify what someone is doing to higher management. Sometimes I will hear of giant shippers presenting they are "better than market" based on their benchmarking through external agencies. Of course, you are better, you are huge!

Of course not. This portion of training must consist of “demonstrations performed by the trainer and practical exercises performed by the trainee” [OSHA standard 1910.178(l)(2)(ii) ].

Data the “new” gold, is in high demand all over the world and especially now in the shipping and freight industry. But just data alone is not going to assist. Data and its usage must be standardised and there must be a standardised approach to digitalisation. So that Industry Blueprint was quite crucial.

I have been extremely fortunate to interview a range of senior military officers and public servants through the course of academic research in 2017. Strategic failures emerge when ‘thinkers’ are separated from ‘doers’, ‘strategists’ from ‘planners’ and ‘soft data’ from ‘hard data’. Strategic failure.

The answer, of course, is yes. Instead of manually entering data at set intervals throughout the month – an after-the-fact exercise prone to errors and omissions – an automated solution captures billable activities correctly in real-time, improving overhead utilization, cost control, and revenue leakage at once.

While each hazard presents a direct danger to the workers, the damage can also extend to their co-workers, families, and friends. The downside is that it's a "lagging indicator," which means the changes you make won’t be reflected immediately in the data. High heat or excessive cold. Heavy objects. Sharp objects. Near Misses.

Too much leads to resources being monopolised on gathering tons of data and a subsequent risk of “paralysis by analysis” Cost to Serve (CTS) is an approach that helps you avoid both extremes. If profits start to decline afterwards, your CTS data can offer valuable information about what changed and how to get back on track.
