Belcher Industries can with right be classified as a high-risk business due to the nature of the work they perform. The risks include public liability and project risks including fixed cost, time penalties and product quality. Belcher experienced the following problems – often imposing serious risks for the business: • Belcher Industries are subjected to OSHA regulations. The absence of the necessary controls can result in penalties and increased premiums. Belcher wanted to ensure that the necessary controls are in place to contribute to a 100% no incident reputation. • Immediate productivity improvement in the workshop was a major objective. • Senior management often travels and improved control over task management and the ability to monitor work from off-site locations were high priorities. • Tasks were allocated to staff during meetings. These tasks disappeared from Meeting Minutes; they were often not performed within the time required; or they were misunderstood and the work performed was not according to specification. This resulted in additional labour and material cost as well as time lost. • Meetings were held with clients. Design specifications were agreed or decisions made, but there was no record of the supporting design documentation or the design agreements reached. This resulted in disputes with clients often to the detriment of Belcher. • Various registers are required to support ISO certification. Even though Belcher had all the registers in place the systems were islands and not integrated. • A key objective was to integrate the existing accounting system with the new solution. • The existing BelcherTrac system, that included only job control, quotes and purchase orders, became out-dated. Replacing this system with the XMPro driven BelcherTrac enabled them to integrate loose standing processes and registers into one solution.

UBS, a multinational investment bank and financial services company, was faced with the challenge of complying with regulations put in place to strengthen systems for risk data aggregation and internal risk reporting following the 2007 global financial crisis. Specifically, UBS needed to comply with the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision issued standard 239 (BCBS 239). This regulation required banks to provide transparency into the data flows that feed their risk reporting, necessitating broad data governance and detailed data lineage. Data lineage, which involves tracking the entire lifecycle of information, is a crucial component of risk management. UBS initially built an application called Group Data Dictionary (GDD) as its data lineage and data governance tool on Oracle. However, they soon discovered limitations with an RDBMS approach, which relies on JOINS to connect data across tables. UBS realized it needed a better solution for creating real-time data lineage visualizations and exporting lineage information for ad-hoc analysis via Excel.

Liposuction is a surgery that removes fat from the human body with cannula, a tube that can be inserted into the body. Extracting fat is a very complex surgery procedure. The cannula should precisely reach to the fatty tissue between skin and muscles. When the cannula is injected into deeper issue, it may damage muscle issue. If the cannula isn’t inserted enough, the fat maybe removed unevenly or causes skin necrosis. The fine senses of surgeon is certainly important.Injecting cannula and extracting fat occur 12,000 to 20,000 times per one surgery. It means that moving cannula in time-uniformly is critical. However, every patients has different types of fatty tissue and areas operated on. Due to this complexity of the procedure, skillful surgeon having plenty of experiences were favoured.

J.A. Becker & Söhne is a medium-sized German company, that always prioritizes quality and safety. In their old model, a technician travels regularly to the customer’s location to service the compressors. For the international customers, trained service partners assume this regular maintenance role. In case of an issue between the service visits, there is a service hotline at the customers disposal, that is able to solve most of the failures. In cases where the hotline cannot solve the problem remotely, a service technician is sent to the customer. With customers all over the world (including China), this support option is quite time-consuming and very expensive. 

AstraZeneca, a global biopharmaceutical business, was faced with the challenge of complying with an increasing number of country-specific regulations that required products to be traceable throughout the supply chain. This necessitated changes in existing warehouse processes and the provision of equipment to warehouse and production staff to efficiently record product movement down to the sales pack. AstraZeneca also aimed to provide inspectors and sales representatives with the means to verify product status directly in the field. A significant concern was the potential impact of a single centralized database on the performance of scanning devices used in the warehouse, with an instantaneous response being a key requirement. Accuracy and the ability to verify material batch quantities against outbound SAP deliveries were also crucial.

Between 2005 and 2010, Aluar went through a substantial growth phase where most of the production facilities were upgraded. As a result of this expansion, the number of PLCs increased from 100 to 300. When it came to managing the control program software, however, flaws and cracks began to show in the established workflow and version control procedures that had prior to the growth phase, been based on manual backups and documentation. A rapid growth in the number of automation and maintenance staff (>100 users) also coincided with increasing accounts of infrequent and incomplete documentation of software versions, which then required an increasing effort where bug tracing and detection were concerned. This increased the risk of incidents that could not only affect operation, but that could also result in stoppages at the mid-term. It also increased the risk of safety risks remaining undetected.
