Case Studies

This chapter presents case studies to demonstrate the methods and ideas described in the book. Any company, institution or business can benefit from monetising their data, so the case studies cover a range of different applications. The case studies different ways of uplifting the business. Examples of this are found in planning, purchasing accuracy and in all aspects of supply chain management. The case studies cover different types of data and different sectors and sizes of business. One of the main barriers to successful monetisation is poor data readiness. Case studies 15‐17 and 18‐21 encapsulate distinctly different aspects of shopping habits and the internet of things. The case studies are introductions to the fields rather than prescriptive. They are not complete solutions but give an overview and indication of how to deal with the main issues.
