Catch issues before they impact productivity
The gadgets in SPARCS Monitor are expertly designed to distill voluminous data so as to highlight growing issues, and provide necessary contextual details for terminal staff to evaluate performance. Uncover issues that threaten productivity before they become problems. Visual gauges and status icons draw the attention of terminal managers when performance falls outside of predefined thresholds.
Avoid costly problems using leading indicators
Forward looking metrics, such as estimated time of completion (ETC), and required productivity to complete on time, serve as barometers for potential troubles ahead. For example, vessel planners quickly spot that a vessel is at risk of sailing late by looking at its schedule deviation, i.e., the difference between ETC and planned time of completion.
Correctly assess current performance in the context of recent past
SPARCS Monitor provides expert-designed sparklines for tracking recent trends to help terminal managers forestall operational headaches. For example, even when the schedule deviation of a vessel is okay at the moment, a vessel schedule sparkline tells him whether the KPI has been holding steady or swinging back and forth, improving or declining, quickly or slowly.
Pinpoint root causes and locate bottlenecks
SPARCS Monitor provides terminal managers with the right level of details, from the big picture to individual move records, to identify the cause of operational issues and regain control of performance. Tables in Monitor SPARCS facilitate terminal staff to make side by side comparison to quickly locate the laggers, such as the vessel that is running late, the crane that is finishing last, the CHE that is not performing. |
