Cockpit: Decision Support Tool for Factory Operations and Supply Chain Management (continued) APPLICATION OVERVIEW The ATM Cockpit is a Web-based tool that allows users to create reports on-the-fly. The Cockpit allows end-users to design reports known as views by selecting easy-to-use navigation controls. Users can define and save personal views or drill-down from high-level to detailed views. Saved views can be accessed on the user's Cockpit front page by clicking a thumbnail report icon. Alternatively, users can subscribe to these views which are then sent to their desktop. The Cockpit also allows users to manage business through an exception management system, which monitors predefined and personalized indicator trigger points. The tool notifies users when an exception triggers a fixed value or deviates from the goal. Additionally, the Cockpit provides a complimentary real-time event delivery mechanism that incorporates e-mail and channel-based notification. Configurable to individual needs, the delivery mechanism scans the business environment pushing news and other events of interest to the user for convenience and easy access. |
