Solutions and Innovations

Decision analysis
and big data

Multiplication of data sources, explosion of information to be processed or available, regulatory developments (Reach, Sapin 2, RGPD, etc.), increase in business-to-business exchanges... In an economy where data becomes a decisive resource, the purchasing directorates that place the "data" data at the heart of their strategy have a considerable advantage.

In order to make the most of this fundamental resource, purchasing departments face a dual challenge.

Collecting and quality
Census and recovery of data from different sources, then structuring (consolidation, codification, etc.), cleaning (duplication, correction of errors, etc.) and enrichment
Decision analysis
Analytic treatments to value data to translate it into actionable information, in the service of decision-making

Diagnosis

In order to make effective use of the data, for the purpose of controlling spending, risk management and operational efficiency optimization, a prior diagnosis is required. Taking into account the different populations (managers and purchasing managers, buyers, management controllers, etc.), it is a question of carrying out several operations.

List potential issues
Identify the relevant data
Determine the sources
Assessing data quality

The action plan

Systematically collect data, whether it's existing data within the company or external data required in purchasing processes
Clean and improve data quality, identify the scope and meaning of each data
Make the most of the data by implementing decision-making solutions to answer upstream questions in the most reliable and effective way
Accompany purchasing teams to master their new solution, then implement a continuous optimization process

In addition to traditional tools, including ETL (extract, transform, load) software, Big Data technologies enable efficiently organize volumetric and unstructured data.

Decision analysis then consists of valuing them to identify areas for improvement and actions to be taken. Adding a predictive dimension to this analysis allows you not to act simply in reaction but in anticipation.

Under two approaches

Simulation
To test scenarios
Forecast
To determine future situations
