Problem

As production capacity and order volumes in the Czech Republic gradually increased, the complexity of Foxconn’s IT environment and the amount of available data grew significantly. Information was coming from many different departments, making it increasingly difficult to gain a unified, up-to-date, and clear overview.

Traditional reporting based on MS Excel and heavy reliance on the IT department was no longer sufficient. The existing tools could not efficiently handle very large volumes of data or answer new analytical questions focused on the root causes of problems. This slowed down decision-making, reduced flexibility, and limited the ability to respond quickly to changes in production.

Solution

We implemented self-service analytics in Qlik Sense, connecting production, logistics, and quality data from key systems into one high-performance analytics environment. As a result, Foxconn significantly reduced the time needed to prepare reports, can identify root causes of production defects faster, and enabled business users to work with data without relying on IT.

Solution

The benefit of Qlik lies in its technology. Its technological engine is well-tuned and powerful, which means a very good price-to-performance ratio. We can get to results very quickly, mainly thanks to the in-memory technologies the solution is built on. In addition to fast analytics, the visual aspect and user-friendliness are also important.
