Dickeson--The Analytical Power of OLAP

We need to aggregate, synthesize and analyze our printing process information beyond the world of our job cost systems that presently use transactional analysis of an RDBMS system. There are 1,600 variables and 2,600 press events, and more than that must be aggregated, compared and related. Trends must be found and analyzed. Covariances and correlations that lead to actions and decisions need to be identified. Unscheduled stoppages of equipment must be reduced to improve time and materials efficiency.
