Case study

Governed reporting across a production network

Industrial manufacturing

Foundation then Activation then Acceleration
Situation
An industrial manufacturer reporting across a production network of sites, each with its own view of what was running.
What we built
  • Foundation. A review of the site-level reporting that showed why no network-level view existed and where the access rules would have to sit.
  • Activation. Unified governed reporting across the network, with enterprise row-level security carrying the access rules, so every stakeholder sees exactly their own numbers and only those.
  • Acceleration. AI on the governed network model that answers within the same row-level security, so nobody can ask their way into a neighbouring site’s numbers.
What was broken
Site-level reporting existed and network-level reporting did not, and the access question sat on top of it: the numbers that make a network comparable are also the numbers a site manager should not see for a neighbouring site.
Where it left them
One reporting layer for a network that had been reporting in pieces, with the security model doing the work that used to be done by simply not sharing the file.
