Enable fast-moving and disruptive businesses to gain competitive advantage, find new revenue opportunities, optimise processes and performance, increase asset utilisation, improve service capacity and quality and reduce risks 

What is Predictive Analytics?

Predictive analytics, a branch of modern analytical techniques, is a way to identify the likelihood of unknown future events using past and current data. It utilises techniques such as data mining, statistical algorithms and machine learning models to determine a likely outcome by looking at known existing data.

Models provide predictions that represent a probability of the target value, e.g. revenue, based on estimated significance from a set of input variables.

Predictive analytics is becoming one of the sharpest tools in the business analysis kit of data-driven organisations. It brings new levels of speed, relevance and precision to decision making. 

Setting a strategy increasingly requires prediction as a mode of engagement and insight. The distinctive performers and leaders of the future are mastering and integrating predictive analytics as a core to evolve strategies within their asset management processes.

Does your business have any of the following questions?

  • What is the best assortment of products to keep in stock? 
  • When should we prepare for a surge in demand and by what percentage? 
  • What is the best time to schedule maintenance activities? 
  • What are the most critical risks in our company and what are their potential impacts? 
  • Which group of customers will spend the most in our stores over the next 5 years? 
  • What are our workforce needs in six months, one year or three years? 
  • What can we do to reduce warranty costs by 10 to 15%? 
  • What planning or costing scenarios will bring the company a 150 % ROI? 

If any of these statements sound familiar your business could benefit from using Predictive Analytics.

The real value of predictive analytics, its use cases, and applicable industries are numerous. We can assist you in analysing a large amount of historical data to identify opportunities and answering the fundamental business questions above that you may have.

How is our Predictive Analytics achieved in your organisation 

At HolisticAM, a tailored predictive system is developed through a four-phase nine-P approach.

The nine-Ps are: Project design – Pull data – Prepare data – Process data – Pick features – Predictive model – Prove model  Pilot Plan – Plenary Plan 

Phase 1: Define Project

Objectives of the predictive system development are clarified in this phase. Objectives could be sales, equipment repairs, email sign-ups, or some other metrics.

An acceptable bar for the success of the predictive system should be set together with margins for errors and unknowns. 

Phase 2: Collect and Analyse Data

All likely internal and external sources of data should be collated and structured into a database.

The benefits of predictive analytics are huge, but these benefits won’t be achieved without sufficiently large and comprehensive datasets.

Phase 3: Proof of Concept

A range of analytical and statistical tools are used in this phase to model past and current events to predict future performance.

Dynamic predictive models that are developed for critical assets in this phase will identify performance drivers, asset life-cycle time and cost estimates, and quantifies performance drivers.

Phase 4: Deploy and Scale

The final phase involves building a plan of action and executing deployment procedures for implanting insights gained from predictive models into the business.

Ensuring the long-term performance of the model and regular maintenance and update of the model is a pillar supporting the successful integration of predictive analytics into the capital-planning processes of the business.
