挑战
FFF Enterprises, a multidimensional healthcare company, was facing challenges in accessing real-time data. The pharmaceutical industry's dynamic nature necessitated quick access to information that impacts their business and the delivery of safe, effective products and services. The company had implemented a technology, but it was difficult to use and did not provide easy access to data. This led to a lack of use of the tool. The company needed a solution that would provide real-time data access, be easy to use, and enhance operational efficiency across the company.
解决方案
FFF Enterprises implemented QlikView to speed up its mission and work more effectively. QlikView provided a different approach to data access, taking data directly from the system without needing to translate it. Instead of building complex and time-consuming data models based on OLAP cube technology, QlikView accesses data from various databases, spreadsheets, XML or text documents, or Access data using FTP via a LAN or the Internet. QlikView also had existing templates that worked instantly with Movex, FFF’s recently implemented ERP system. A pilot application for sales analysis was deployed in less than a month, analyzing sales for three of FFF’s divisions across multiple dimensions. Today, QlikView is used for all facets of FFF Enterprise’s business, including finance, sales and marketing, operations, IT, and research.

Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.
