Sales performance management

What kind of analytics and reports are needed to create optimal decision support It is not necessary to set up sophisticated data mining capabilities if a small management dashboard to manage the sales pipeline is sufficient to improve sales performance. 

Deriving from its historical simulation environment, Aspen presents with AspenTech an operations manager suite which builds up on software investments already present in a company [105], The difference from conventional tools is the real-time performance management, which gives the user direct real-time access to production data obtained by a local process control system. Keywords are scheduling, logistics, capacity utilization and sales.

Introduction and Commercial Application The reservoir and well behaviour under dynamic conditions are key parameters in determining what fraction of the hydrocarbons initially in place will be produced to surface over the lifetime of the field, at what rates they will be produced, and which unwanted fluids such as water are also produced. This behaviour will therefore dictate the revenue stream which the development will generate through sales of the hydrocarbons. The reservoir and well performance are linked to the surface development plan, and cannot be considered in isolation different subsurface development plans will demand different surface facilities. The prediction of reservoir and well behaviour are therefore crucial components of field development planning, as well as playing a major role in reservoir management during production. 

A price for the shares will be set by the market, based upon its assessment of the prospective performance of the company and the perceived quality of its management, and trading in the shares will begin. This price does not affect the money value received by the company for the sale of the shares at flotation. 

The principal role of the CRO is to contribute to the enhancement of the financial performance of its customers (Table 21.1). Improvement in the efficiency of their clients product development activities provides benefits to regulators, physicians and their patients. These include reduced cycle time, availability of external capacity, increased quality of trial management, and higher quality clinical data, all of which can result in lower labor costs. In late stage peri-approval trials, CROs may also play a role in developing safety profiles in large patient populations that are exposed to a new product after it is approved for manufacture and sale. Such trials can also assist the revenue growth of a new product. 

In the last few years, we have made dramatic changes to address these issues and strike a new balance. We still want managers to be entrepreneurial in taking care of customers and sales, but when it comes to operations - things like configuring the store and managing associate performance - we have put company-wide policies and procedures in place and we expect people to follow them. Instead of over 1,800 different businesses, we now have one. 

A price calculation is relatively easy for a product with a track record of a regular industrial-scale production. On the other hand, it is difficult, if only a laboratory procedure exists and a calculation has to be made based on the virtual scaleup to industrial-scale production. The ability to perform this desk exercise in a quick and reliable fashion is an important competence criterion of a fine-chemical manufacturer. When setting a price, a separation of tasks must be made between the controller, who calculates the manufacturing cost, and the sales manager, who determines the sales price. If mistakes have been made and prices have to be changed, you will need facts to support your request. If a pivotal product is supplied, a supply contract is concluded.
