45. Optimize Your Operations
Operations ManagerCurrent State
Our supply chain is constantly evolving and currently fragmented.
There is lack of coordination between the shop floor and the warehouse on
inventory levels, orders booked, goods in transit.
We don’t have strong integration within our supply chains to speed up
processes and make operations leaner.
When equipment problems arise, production drops, shipping is affected, and
our storage facilities are not optimally stocked.
Desired Future State
By modernizing our manufacturing systems, collaboration platforms, and
interconnecting devices, we have increased the flow of information across
our entire business operations, and enhanced our interaction with partners.
Our business processes are always synchronized, and can even anticipate
trends by examining historical data about production and distribution.
We can track and trace the full supply chain path of our products,
collaborating in real time across multiple sites and the entire supply chain.
When necessary, we can realign the efforts of the entire manufacturing
ecosystem and manage our resources with agility.
I am always looking to…
• Know supply chain, inventory, and production status along our manufacturing chain
• Provide all participants in the manufacturing and supply chain timely information
when and where they need it
• Quickly respond to bottlenecks or breaks in our processes
• Identify current production problems and anticipate future challenges

Microsoft Ambitions
Microsoft is boldly innovating in three key areas to realize our mission in this mobile-first, cloud-first world:
1) Create more personal computing – Computing is all around us, and it’s only going to become a more ubiquitous part of our lives as we look forward, e.g. explosion of sensors, proliferation of small and large screens, and continued emergence of devices like HoloLens that blend digital content and the real world.The mobility of the human experience across all of this computing is what truly matters – the ability for your applications and data to transcend all of this computing, not the mobility of one device…an approach reflected in our strategy with Windows 10 to build one platform that spans devices.
2) Reinvent productivity & business processes – Despite the abundance of technology, human attention and time remains scarce. This ambition speaks to our goal to help reclaim that that time through the alignment and reinvention of productivity tools and business processes that reclaim time by shifting focus to the things that matter most to you and your organization.
3) Build the intelligent cloud platform – We often describe data as the new currency for business, which essentially speaks to an organization’s ability to convert their data assets into intelligence that can yield insights to inform the appropriate action.
Analyst firm IDC forecasts that by 2020 there will be nearly 45 zettabytes of data, or almost 20,000 times the total amount of data that existed in the world less than three decades before.
Most of this data will reside in the cloud as the only practical place to combine and manage the influx of data – providing the ability to pull together data across disparate and diverse sources, and to reason over large-scale data in order to turn it into intelligence. Additionally, the cloud enables speed and agility like never before and the platform to fuel rich experiences across an organization’s systems, critical apps and services.
Digital Transformation
We are similarly impacted and experiencing our own digital transformation. The three interconnected ambitions represent more than our ambitions – they are our response to this imperative to transform and designed to help our customers deliver transformation within their organization.
First you need to be able to ask and answer two key questions as part of your digital transformation:
How is your business being changed by digital technology?
How is your core business model being changed by digital technology?
Systems of Intelligence
Slide objective: Assert a systems-based approach to digital transformation, i.e. systems of intelligence
Answering these questions requires the mindset of a digital company...a way of operating like a digital company beyond procuring and deploying individual solutions – such as CRM, ERP or even office automation solutions – that is instead anchored on building systems of intelligence.
Systems of intelligence represent the digital feedback loops that help you draw better insight out of data and convert it to intelligent action – engage with your customers, empower your employees, optimize your operations, and reinvent products and business models.
Previously businesses designed, built, produced and shipped a product, then customers bought it. That was the end of the cycle. Now organizations are building in continuous feedback loops – sensors in product, after-market services, customer feedback from a variety of channels.
Transformation requires these rich systems of intelligence. And it isn’t simply about technology…systems of intelligence represent the combination of technology, people and process that enable these feedback loops, and define an organization’s competitiveness and ability to change the entire landscape of the industries in which it participates.
Effectively transforming your business model is really about keeping up with the changes in behavior and attitudes of your customers for a mobile-first, cloud-first world.
But a business model is multiple parts:
- value prop (what value you create/provide)
- customer segments (which customers you reach)
- channels (how you reach your customers)
- value chain (how you serve your customers)
- products/services (what you provide to your customers to address their pains, needs, and desired outcomes)
To compete against cheaper goods, innovate to provide a differentiator, and improve customer connection
To help ensure that IP is managed correctly so that as employees leave, knowledge does not go with them
Use cloud capabilities that provide agility, scalability, analytics, and insights to improve decision making
Put in place supply chain management systems and processes to reduce storage and carrying costs
Leverage disruptions in order to differentiate and provide delightful customer experience
Create processes and systems to accelerate innovation
Make sure that processes and practices are optimized to deliver the highest value at the lowest possible cost
Create an in-depth defensive strategy to help ensure that IP about processes is not taken
Create a culture of improvement to drive the most efficiency from automation
Actively manage, share, and protect company knowledge
Adhere to regulations and collaborate with regulatory bodies throughout the world
Track, manage, and report environmental metrics
DIRA
Companies are no longer able to be fully integrated. Most of them become part of an overall value chain, focusing on their priorities.
Successful digital transformation, implies structural changes in the company (organization, operating model, even business model) hence management of change to successfully drive the internal transformation (people, reward, organization, …) are key foundations of success.
Digitalization enables great leverage and agility through new type of solutions but as well must be thought in its great context: digital companies are successful if they are able to interact with others.
Additionally, digital economy enables the emergence of new sources of revenues, for instance the data collected, the complementary services,… can be based on monetary exchanges among companies, initiating an API economy
The customer experience is built through the whole live cycle of the product or service as well as through the customer’s own experience. Brand equity is more and more built on internet fame and recognition.
Social media are becoming more and more important to customers to discover, learn, decide and even get support & raise issues.
Omni channel is becoming more and more reality with multiple hybrid scenarios:
order on line, go and pick up
Visit and get delivered
Visit and order on line for at home delivery
…
Hence digital transformation must to include these scenarios and be supported by the associated company organization agility

Digital Marketing
Engage customers across all their channels
When it comes to marketing today, every second counts and reaching the customer with the right message at the right time is more important than ever.
Even with the predictive analytics and operational systems in place, finding ways to maximize reach and deliver messages that resonate can be complicated, especially when people use more devices in more locations than ever before.
Marketers need to find interactive digital advertising solutions that allow them to be in the moments that matter and make ads that work—not just bombarding people with more ads.
Now, marketers have the opportunity to easily build rich advertisements and digital marketing campaigns and deliver them on the interactive devices that make the creative come to life.
By re-acting to real-time insights and information (like ID-based targeting) marketers can invite and engage customers from device to device, instead of guessing who is on the other side of the screen. They can create ads that are inviting, interactive, and content-relevant, across every stage of the customer experience.
Microsoft provides the digital marketing and advertising solutions that marketers need to connect with customers in the moments that matter. Our high-engagement digital ad solutions products help marketers deliver relevant, effective campaigns that target particular audiences intelligently. We embrace ad formats and platforms that invite instead of disrupt, that fit the screen to drive real engagement.
We make it our mission to build the best creative productivity solutions available, and to make sure that today’s Modern Marketers have the ability to utilize all of their favorite design tools, including the full Adobe Creative Cloud, whenever they need them. Microsoft delivers the reach, relevance and impact for digital campaign success.

Jean Coutu Group (JCG), a large Canadian pharmacy chain, wanted to improve the pharmacy and retail experiences of their customers, enable customers to shop at home or while mobile, reduce costs, and streamline and integrate operations. JCG was challenged to maintain the personal focus which distinguishes the brand, while supporting shifting market demands and future innovation.
Challenges
JCG found their store managers unable to quickly help customers on the floor, without point-of-sale functionality. Adding mobile point-of-sale functionality would enable managers and salespeople to interact directly with shoppers, while checking inventory, placing orders, and reducing waiting times when lines are long.
Customers had many inconsistent experiences when shopping with JCG, almost as though dealing with separate businesses. JCG’ wanted to provide a more personal and consistent shopping experience, support the ways customers shop today, and improve pharmacy experience and value. Because consumers were beginning to expect mobile and omni-channel experiences, JCG needed to enable such experiences as a competitive differentiator. Microsoft Dynamics for Retail supports the omni-channel vision by connecting back-office systems to online shopping and in-store POS; for example, customers can order online and pick up in-store, or in-store personnel can quickly place an online order for an item that is out of stock locally.
Stores within the JCG franchise network needed the ability to tailor the solution to meet their specific needs.
Many retail solutions did not offer the flexibility, technology, or scalability to adjust to rapidly changing consumer trends, or to enable cutting-edge retail experiences into the future.
Solution
Microsoft Dynamics for Retail supports JCG’s Retail Headquarters Operations and Store Operations, and provides point-of-sale functionality to more than 410 retail locations, including 2,500 POS terminals and 10,000 devices. In addition to streamlining the supply, warehousing, and delivery of prescription and non-prescription products to the franchise network, the Microsoft Dynamics solution enables JCG to embrace emerging technologies that enhance the in-store experience for both customers and sales people.

Key points:
Customer profile: In business for 138 years, Henkel operates worldwide with leading brands—such as Dial soap, Loctite adhesives, and Schwarzkopf haircare—and technologies in three business areas: Laundry & Home Care, Beauty Care, and Adhesive Technologies. Headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany, Henkel has almost 50,000 employees from more than 120 nations worldwide. http://www.Henkel.com
Business goal: Henkel thrives because it is willing to change, while always maintaining focus on serving its customers with great products. One recent challenge was to deliver the technology to facilitate collaboration across the enterprise in order to promote innovation and speed time-to-market. To achieve that goal, Henkel needed to be proactive in adopting technology to deliver a modern workplace.
Tactics: To implement a modern, connected workplace, Henkel turned to Microsoft for a comprehensive cloud platform that brings employees, data, and partners together by enabling collaboration from nearly any location and device. Microsoft Office 365 is playing a key role in the digital transformation of the company by bringing a modern productivity solution to all employees. With Office 365, brand managers can work across borders and departments such as research and development (R&D), purchasing, packaging, marketing, and finance, as well as with outside creative agencies and customers to develop new product ideas and bring them to market as quickly as possible.
Results: Video conferencing and web conferencing have had a huge impact on the ability of the brand management teams to connect. Sharing and collaborating on files is another important aspect of the job that has dramatically improved with Office 365. And by simplifying communications, the time to bring a product from initial idea to market has been reduced.
Connected Manufacturing Operations includes many roles and enables information and insight to be shared throughout the organization. Some examples of roles, and the information that is useful to have at their fingertips, include:
Plant Operation: Forecast capabilities
Plant Management: Single-site management – Benchmark information (e.g., performance per plant/equipment)
Fleet Management: Multi-site management – Internal benchmark information (e.g., performance across plants/equipment)
As a plant Manufacturing Manager, I am measured on my uptime performance, equipment TCO, maintenance budget, cross training programs and budgets, and productivity.
We have a mix of very sophisticated state of the art automation and legacy automation.
Our modern automation maintenance is above target and very dependent on the level of knowledge of the OEM resident expert. We are at the mercy of this person-to-person variability and OEM talent supply.
Our legacy automation has a different set of problems: we struggle to establish visibility and predictability in its operations. It is largely legacy PLC and manually configurable. Remote monitoring isn’t possible and replacing the legacy automation means gutting the entire plant and retooling it, which isn’t an option.
Having the capability of enabling our in-house maintenance crew to handle the modern automation is a strategy, but we currently don’t have an initiative to support it. We are open to finding a partner who can make it happen. Our automation OEM expressed readiness to work with us to remotely centralize the maintenance operations through live media and controls capabilities (which we don’t have today).
We would like to empower our operators to learn how to do light maintenance/simple troubleshooting and replacements of modules/part guided by remote experts.
Our legacy automation needs to be connected and remotely controlled and monitored to enable a lean production and maintenance. We have a larger than needed crew to attend and operate automation but our future state needs to be much leaner and more insightful and empowered.

The product transformation approach supports a better understanding of the design journey and empathy with customers, while capturing customer imagination and shining
a light on the path ahead.
We often lead with our products and tech first. But design thinking puts the customer at the center.
The design journey:
The ideation process is built on design thinking, including obtaining customer feedback, going through the ideation process, and looking at the mismatches between solutions and customer needs and desires.
Then a prototype is built. To turn the prototype into a product, additional information must be gathered from customers, telemetry, and business records to form a baseline for measuring transformation.
Visualization of data produces additional understanding of customer problems and how well the solution or product addresses these problems.
Data analytics is used to evaluation needs, usage patterns, and predict what the future will look like.
Action can then be taking to recommend solutions to customer, or creating solutions and products that enhance the customer experience and reduce friction when addressing customer needs.
Effectively transforming your business model is really about keeping up with the changes in behavior and attitudes of your customers for a mobile-first, cloud-first world.
But a business model is multiple parts:
- value prop (what value you create/provide)
- customer segments (which customers you reach)
- channels (how you reach your customers)
- value chain (how you serve your customers)
- products/services (what you provide to your customers to address their pains, needs, and desired outcomes)
Q: Does the sequence of the value chain change?
Q: How could you improve existing or create new value propositions? ( are you providing services to partners via insights? Are you adding convenience to existing customers?
Q: Do you create new channels for new products or services? (in-car hands-free shopping experiences? Service scheduling?)
Q: What innovations from other industries (retail, insurance, consumer electronics, hospitality) become viable innovations or business models with the advent of in-car intelligent agents?
Q: Do you create subscription based revenue streams or click through?
Q:What new experiences (via segments & channels) could lead to new or better value propositions?
1. What new set(s) of customers could you reach now with a digital platform that you could never reach before?
2. How are you engaging your customer across the range of channels, devices and formats (existing and emerging)?
3. How are you leveraging your digital capabilities to build engagement with your brand across various customer touchpoints?
4. What steps are you taking to proactively build trust with your customer base?
5. How are you systematically gathering customer input to feedback into your design, manufacturing quality assurance and customer engagement processes?
6. What customer attitude-sensing mechanisms do you have in place to regularly and systematically monitor key consumer opinions?
Q: What Optimizations ( changes to partners, activities, channels) might provide better value delivery?
1. What opportunities exist to collaborate with others in the ecosystem (partners, competitors, municipalities) to develop market-leading platforms or solutions?
2. As integrated, multimodal networks emerge, what role is your enterprise taking in participating in and shaping that ecosystem?
3. What value creation opportunities exist through opening your data, insights and designs?
4. Which companies do you consider to be the most innovative in providing digital customer experiences outside of the automotive industry? What unmet needs could you jointly solve?
5. What companies would you never consider collaborating with? Now consider – if you did collaborate with them, what would you focus on? How would that change how you think about fostering innovation?
Product development is a lengthy, costly and risk-laden process.
There are many conflicting objectives at stake: cost versus return, customer needs and wants versus design content and limitations, competition and differentiation, brand image and safety. Add to that the challenge of making decisions on content and design trade offs!
As a Development Leader my focus is meeting program target cost, timing, and customer satisfaction. I am measured on the program rating by J.D. Power, Consumer Reports, and dealer feedback.
To achieve preeminence, I have to build a cohesive development team with employees throughout the world that speak different languages. I need to meet budget targets, produce prototypes to schedule and cost targets, and test and validate designs for many critical attributes: assembly, testing, robustness, durability, service, and specialization.
Dealing with Tier 2 and Tier 3 supplier teams adds significant complexity to the equation.
The power of the Cloud can help me accomplish my objectives far faster, more cheaply, and with much more confidence through:
Real-time collaboration across all teams. Currently, our local servers have to render our designs and images which can take up to 24 hours to be uploaded to the queue. Multi viewer is not an option and only one engineer can modify at a time.
Design Validation is the longest path next to prototyping. We lack the tools to speed up these tedious processes. The logistic, contractual, and financial tasks that have to be undertaken to kick off the validation stages are a major bottleneck, let alone the corrective actions that need to be planned based on the outcomes of testing. We lack the computing capacities and the machine learning capabilities to use virtual validation.
Building parts and assembly prototypes are a costly, slow, and painful experience to our development teams. Additionally, ensuring that suppliers are on the same page, and have real-time information for most recent design changes (especially as they are globally scattered), makes this a very stressful task. And the cost! 3D printing helps to some extent but without the supporting data modeling, sharing, and collaborative infrastructure, 3D printing is limited in helping us get from A to B faster while meeting cost targets.
Virtual prototyping in a controlled environment is much more secure than design studios with physical prototypes and phone cameras. Security becomes a more grave issue at the supplier locations where we can’t enforce IP secrecy.
A key component to the success of our programs is knowing customer needs and wants. What they would be excited about and what isn’t much of a priority. We dedicate a large amount of ideation effort to customer clinics, introspection efforts, and shadowing target customers in their daily activities. These are super expensive efforts and don’t yield results over night! We would be very excited to have product usage data and insight, supported by telemetry, which we can use as a validation to many of the comments and “wish lists” we can get through our ideation efforts.
Connected innovation scenarios are our best chance in getting ahead of our competition and improving our brand desirability and image.
