What Is It?
The Mills OER Descriptive Analytics Dashboard is a one-stop online destination for a comprehensive overview of SD Guthrie's oil and kernel extraction rates, which are key efficiency metrics that affect company profits.
The dashboard enables us to monitor key aspects like raw material quality affecting OER (oil extraction rate), the percentage of oil that is successfully extracted from the palm fruit during the milling and processing stages. This is vital for higher oil yield and economic viability in oil extraction industries.
Why Do We Need It?
Our data team set out to solve some persistent problems in our operations.
1. Scattered Data:
Without a single platform that displays all our OER-related parametres, we must manually check and keep watch of the many factors that cause fluctuations in OER (oil extraction rates).
A dashboard that combines these allows us a holistic view of our operations. We can quickly name trends, patterns, and correlations between different elements, which might be difficult to uncover when dealing with scattered data sources.
Ultimately, having a unified platform enhances efficiency and accuracy in analysing OER fluctuations.
2. Insufficient Assessment:
Understanding the root causes of issues affecting FFB (fresh fruit bunch) quality, CPO (crude palm oil) yield, and overall quality can be difficult without detailed assessment.
The OER Dashboard's structured data and advanced analytics capabilities enable and streamline the process of in-depth root cause analysis, allowing our team to conduct thorough analyses within 5-20 minutes - a remarkable improvement compared to the previous timeframe of 3 days.
By correlating various parametres and performing data-driven analysis, we can pinpoint the factors contributing to variations in quality and yield. This empowers us to make informed decisions and implement targeted solutions to improve overall performance.
3. Manual Reporting Struggles:
Manual data extraction, cleaning, and analysis are time-consuming and prone to errors. The Mills OER Descriptive Analytics Dashboard automates these processes, significantly reducing the time and effort needed for reporting.
Automated data integration from various sources ensures data reliability and consistency. As a result, we can focus on interpreting insights rather than spending most of our time on data preparation.
This efficiency boost allows for quicker response times to appearing trends and issues.
