Abstract

A method and a system for a management decision-making facilitator within an enterprise are provided. The method includes storing a plurality of predefined enterprise process event state definitions and at least one respective threshold for each enterprise process event state definition in an information engine and receiving enterprise process data relating to a plurality of enterprise process states associated with the plurality of enterprise process event state definitions from the information engine. The method also includes analyzing the received enterprise process data in real time and generating a visualization of the enterprise based on at least one of the historical data, current information, and predicted data, the visualization including a representation of the enterprise process event states.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A computer-implemented method of a management decision-making facilitator within an enterprise, said method using a computing device having at least one processor and at least one memory device, said method comprising:
storing a plurality of predefined enterprise process event state definitions and at least one respective threshold for each enterprise process event state definition in an information engine; receiving enterprise process data relating to a plurality of enterprise process states associated with the plurality of enterprise process event state definitions from the information engine, said enterprise process data including:
historical data relating to the enterprise process event states;
real-time current information relating to the enterprise process event states;
predicted data based on the historical data, the current data and measured or derived parameters associated with the at least some of the plurality of enterprise process event states; and
algorithmic models of at least one of the enterprise process event states including parameters, variables, and measurements; and
analyzing the received enterprise process data in real time, the analysis including:
monitoring at least one Key Performance Indicator (KPI) of the plurality of enterprise process event states by a KPI engine;
comparing end results of the enterprise process event states to a predetermined specification of quality data;
determining an out of specification measurement based on the comparison;
determining a root cause of the out of specification measurement based on a process parameter deviation from the specification; and
generating a visualization of the enterprise based on at least one of the historical data, current information, and predicted data, the visualization including a representation of the enterprise process event states.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein generating a visualization of the enterprise comprises outputting a set of reports including a correlated analysis from analysis engines, delivered as a subscribed service.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the correlated analysis includes a dashboard display conforming to a set of preferences received from a user, said method further comprising outputting the dashboard display having combined multiple chart types, on-the-fly dimensions and measures, ad visually designed ad hoc reports and dashboard components.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein receiving enterprise process data comprises receiving enterprise process data through a social collaboration support network configured to channel information and data between subscribers that enables social notation, touch-up including comments and notifications, and provide an interface with other enterprise networks and cross supply chain messaging services.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving search query information relating to subscribed users; and performing, by a search engine of the management decision-making facilitator, a search of the information engine for decision-making information and artifacts relevant to the received search query information, the decision-making information including an identification of users associated with the decision-making information.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein performing a search of the information engine comprises locating users based on the decision-making information.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising predicting, using a data mining engine configured to associate historical enterprise process states with current enterprise process states to determine possible future enterprise process states.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein further comprising determining a potential eminent problem by matching a sequence of historical enterprise process states to a sequence of recent enterprise process states, the sequence of historical enterprise process states preceding a problem enterprise process state.

9 . A management decision-making facilitator system within an enterprise, said system comprising one or more processors communicatively coupled to one or more memory devices, said one or more memory devices including computer-executable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform the following steps:
store a plurality of predefined enterprise process event state definitions and at least one respective threshold for each enterprise process event state definition in an information engine; receive enterprise process data relating to a plurality of enterprise process states associated with the plurality of enterprise process event state definitions from the information engine, said enterprise process data including: historical data relating to the enterprise process event states; real-time current information relating to the enterprise process event states; predicted data based on the historical data, the current data and measured or derived parameters associated with the at least some of the plurality of enterprise process event states; and algorithmic models of at least one of the enterprise process event states including parameters, variables, and measurements; analyze the received enterprise process data in real time, the analysis including: monitor at least one Key Performance Indicator (KPI) of the plurality of enterprise process event states by a KPI engine; compare end results of the enterprise process event states to a predetermined specification of quality data; determine an out of specification measurement based on the comparison; determine a root cause of the out of specification measurement based on a process parameter deviation from the specification; and generate a visualization of the enterprise based on at least one of the historical data, current information, and predicted data, the visualization including a representation of the enterprise process event states.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the processor to output a set of reports including a correlated analysis from analysis engines, delivered as a subscribed service.

11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the processor to output the dashboard display having combined multiple chart types, on-the-fly dimensions and measures, ad visually designed ad hoc reports and dashboard components.

12 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the processor to receive enterprise process data through a social collaboration support network configured to channel information and data between subscribers that enables social notation, touch-up including comments and notifications, and provide an interface with other enterprise networks and cross supply chain messaging services.

13 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the processor to:
receive search query information relating to subscribed users; and perform, by a search engine of the management decision-making facilitator, a search of the information engine for decision-making information and artifacts relevant to the received search query information, the decision-making information including an identification of users associated with the decision-making information.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the processor to locate users based
