Pain Point
High equipment faults without data to identify root cause
Overview:
- The client has a nationwide chain of restaurants with over 300 locations each with standardised cooking equipment
- TMC’s Business Intelligence reporting provided the insights into call data being collected for the client to identify trends that enabled quick business decisions to be made to improving their equipment.
Challenge:
- Whilst failure rates were relatively low across the network, the cost of arranging repairs was becoming problematic
- Existing reporting, whilst containing sufficient information about faults and how they were being rectified, was very difficult for the client to analyse
Solution:
- In collaboration with the client, we identified several trending and exceptions views to help highlight potential problem areas
- By testing various scenarios, we arrived at a minimal number of graphical views across their outlets and their equipment types
- We made the graphs and the underlying data available virtually real-time to enable analysis as and when required
The final solution included:
- We customised our Business Intelligence reporting suite and the data that we captured was presented via our Client Portal
- The client was able to identify equipment failure which meant lower number of breakdowns and cost savings:
- by site which resulted in understanding employee behaviours around usage. This allowed them to implement a training program to minimise mis-use (not always intentional)
- by type which resulted in equipment upgrades eliminating the major causes of breakdown,
