26 Warranty Analysis Early Warning We are making constant progress and after six months, we are still discovering new ways of improving our warranty analysis process Mr. Nanxiang Gao, Field Performance Engineer Challenge Solution Results Issue identification cycle time was lengthy Problem solving cycle time was too long Data volumes were growing quickly and competition was getting more fierce SAS Warranty Analysis -SAS emerging issues component provides early warning of issues -SAS problem definition capabilities accelerate issue resolution. Shanghai GM has reduced issue identification and definition time by 70%, saving more than 4 months. Warranty costs have been reduced by 34% Shanghai GM saved over $2M USD in the first six months of using SAS Warranty Analysis. 26

27 Warranty Analysis Early Warning "SAS built us a comprehensive solution and offered us six more techniques they knew had worked for other manufacturers." John Kerr, General Manager of Quality & Operational Excellence Challenge Solution Results Issue identification cycle time was lengthy Need to reduce problem solving time to focus attention on innovation and design Terabytes of data in SAP R/3 and ServiceBench needed to be brought together for analysis. SAS Warranty Analysis & Text Miner -SAS emerging issues component provides early warning of issues -SAS problem definition capabilities accelerate issue resolution. Whirlpool has reduced the time required to detect and resolve issues by up to 90 days. SAS is an integral part of Whirlpool s plan to cut the cost of quality in half 27

28 Warranty Analysis Claim Coding & Early Warning We can detect and resolve issues much quicker before a large number of products ever reach customers' homes. David Bien, Corporate Director of Reliability Challenge Solution Results Issue identification cycle time was lengthy Manually processed each text based service order, introducing time and variation to the warranty process. Multiple different tools for root cause analysis SAS Warranty Analysis & Text Miner - Utilizing SAS text mining to automatically code warranty claims. - SAS emerging issues component provides early warning of issues and the root cause analysis capabilities accelerate issue resolution. Automated text coding using text mining has freed up resources for analysis and removed coding errors. Sub-Zero has reduced issue identification and definition time by more than 3 months. Reduced warranty costs by 14% 28

29 Customer Issue 2 Engineers at a computer manufacturer have noticed a large number of invalid warranty claims in their database. These claims make it very difficult for them to discover the true issues their products are having in the field and drive quality improvement projects. In addition, they are concerned with undetermined costs associated with these invalid claims. Suspect Claims Detection 29

32 Traditional Claims Auditing Approaches Manual Adjudication Automated (Rules Based) Adjudication Return Validation and/or Field Inspection Field Audits Analytics 32

33 SAS Hybrid Approach Business Rules Anomaly Detection Advanced Analytics Social Network Analysis Suitable for known patterns Suitable for unknown patterns Suitable for complex patterns Suitable for associative link patterns Examples: Used invalid failure code Part not possible for product model Exceed allowed labor hours Examples: Mileage driven exceeds norm Labor hours exceeds norm Number of parts used exceeds norm Examples: Part used does not match customer complaint text Similar service provider behavior as known fraud Examples: Service providers owned by same company showing similar patterns Technician with fraud history moves from one service provider to another Hybrid Approach Apply combination of all approaches 33

34 Value: Suspect Claim Reduction Reduced Service Claim Costs Claim costs are reduced up to 10% by denying payment, authorizing partial payment, or charging back for invalid claims. Audit processes are more efficient, allowing more value with the same staff. System acts as a deterrent for future claim fraud. Value is immediate 34

35 Case Study: Suspect Claims Detection We needed a tool that didn t require us to go fishing for the data. It needed to surface problems automatically. Richard Miller Field Service Solutions Challenge Solution Results Service providers learned to work around rules-based flags. Auditors couldn t see larger patterns and could only audit a subset of claims. Near real-time, analytic detection system was put in place to detect suspicious claims. Claims and Service Providers ranked based on likelihood of fraud. Focused auditors on the right claims and service providers. Saved over $5M in first year of operation and reduced the number of auditors. External Story 35

36 Customer Issue 3 One of the world s largest original design manufacturer companies producing information communication technologies (ICT) products was operating high inventory levels without the methodology and technology needed to forecast last-time buys and end-of-life products. Excel made planning tedious, manual and heavily reliant on experience and so they needed a solution to achieve effective forecast accuracy and reduce high inventory.

38 Case Study Kverneland, a Nordic leader in agriculture machinery, collects sales and demand data from SAP plus other marketing databases which stages into a SAS data mart. SAS SPO then plans inventory, replenishes low stock, priorities orders, alerts for exceptions such as over / understock, while lowering inventory and raising service levels. From the Executive Director of Supply Chain, We can carry 25% less inventory and fill 10% more orders. 38

39 Case Study AutoZone, a national auto-parts supplier, controls stock at over 3000 stores and 80 warehouses ensuring high customer service levels with minimal inventory. Store assortments are optimized based on unique store demand patterns and store cluster attributes using external data such as Polk to drive forecast accuracy. "SAS helps us accurately forecast consumer demand for service parts and accessories in our 3,000+ stores by sifting useful information from tens of billions of data points, so we can optimize our inventory and assets while serving our customers better. Rajeeve Kaul, Director of product and price optimization 39

40 Customer Issue 4 A FORTUNE 500 company provides mobile telecommunications service, products and features, and mobile web service, products and features to retail customers throughout the United States.

42 Case Study FedEx was challenged to provide consistent service level goals for all call centers with minimum answer times of all calls of 90% (within 20 seconds). Their use of SAS predictive analytics resulted in FedEx forecasts being consistently accurate to within a 1 to 2% of actual call volumes. Accurate forecasts have increased first call completes and has lowered call escalations. This solution allows us to schedule the network with precision, ensuring that coverage needs are met, service levels are maintained, and costs are controlled to the fullest extent possible. In accomplishing these accuracy objectives, our forecasting group has gained respect and trust from our customers both inside and outside the company. 1 Weidong Xu, LONG RANGE PLANNING FOR CALL CENTERS AT FEDEX THE JOURNAL OF BUSINESS FORECASTING 42
