The Analytics Movement: Implications for Operations Research

Interfaces, 2010

The movement toward the increased use of analytics in organizations has generated much discussion by academics and professionals about the impacts and opportunities that analytics offers. Although operations research (OR) has been a driving force in applying quantitative and analytical models for organizational decision making, it is less clear how we as OR practitioners can take advantage of the surging interest in analytics to promote the OR profession and expand its reach. In this paper, we discuss the drivers of the analytics movement, an example of an analytics project, and the opportunities and implications for OR, i.e., the problem scope, models and methods, implementation issues, organizational role, professional skills, and education.

Using Business Analytics to Enhance Dynamic Capabilities in Operations Research

European Journal of Operations Research, 2019

While the topic of analytics is rapidly growing in popularity across various domains, there is still a relatively low amount of empirical work in the field of operations research. While studies of various technical and business aspects of analytics are emerging in OR, little has been done to address how the OR community can leverage business analytics in dynamic and uncertain environments – the very place where OR is supposed to play a key role. To address this gap, this study draws on the dynamic capabilities view of the firm and builds on eight selected case studies of operations research activity in large organisations, each of whom have invested significantly in analytics technology and implementation. The study identifies fourteen analytics-enabled microfoundations of dynamic capabilities, essentially highlighting how organisations can use analytics to manage and enhance their OR activities in dynamic and uncertain environments. This study also identifies six key crosscutting propositions emerging from the data and develops a roadmap for future OR researchers to address these issues and improve the use and value of analytics as enablers of organisational dynamic capabilities.

Predictive Analytics in Operations Management

Applied Big Data Analytics in Operations Management, 2000

Operations management is a field of management which emphasizes on managing the day to day operations of business organizations. These organizations possess a huge amount of data which needs to be analysed for proper functioning of business. This large amount of data keeps some useful information hidden inside it, which needs to be uncovered. This information can be retrieved using predictive analytics techniques, which predict the patterns hidden inside the data. This data is heterogeneous, processing of such huge amount of data creates challenges for the existing technologies. MapReduce is very efficient in processing this huge amount of data. In the field of operation management, data needs to be processed efficiently, so it is highly required to process data using parallel computing framework due to its large size. This chapter covers different techniques of predictive analytics based on MapReduce framework which helps in implementing the techniques on a parallel framework.

Enhancing Operations Quality Improvement through Advanced Data Analytics

Journal of Computer Science Engineering and Software Testing, 2024

This study focuses on the application of data analytics algorithms for real-time monitoring in additive manufacturing processes. The utilization of advanced analytics plays a pivotal role in enhancing the quality control and efficiency of these manufacturing techniques. The research explores how data-driven insights can be harnessed to identify, analyze, and rectify deviations in the manufacturing process, ensuring optimal performance and product quality. By integrating sophisticated monitoring algorithms, the study aims to create a robust framework that continuously analyzes various parameters during additive manufacturing. This includes monitoring factors such as temperature, pressure, and material properties in real-time. The collected data is processed through advanced analytics tools to detect anomalies or deviations from the expected standards. The implementation of machine learning algorithms further facilitates predictive maintenance and proactive adjustments, contributing to the overall reliability and effectiveness of additive manufacturing processes. The outcomes of this research hold significant implications for industries relying on additive manufacturing technologies, providing a foundation for improved process control and product quality. The study contributes to the growing field of Industry 4.0 by showcasing the integration of data analytics as a key enabler for efficient and reliable additive manufacturing.
