Concurrent Session: Using Business Intelligence Tools for Environmental Performance Improvement Grand Salon 19/22

Many organizations already utilize Business Intelligence (BI) tools to find actionable insights in their health and safety data to improve worker safety and decrease incidents. Environmental professionals can also take advantage of these off the shelf tools (that your organization probably already has) to find areas for improvement in their domain. Using BI tools to visualize environmental data can help you build confidence in its accuracy, identify areas for operational improvement and benchmark your environmental performance against your peers and competitors or even across sites. This presentation will showcase how you can leverage BI tools to quickly verify environmental performance, flag potential inaccuracies in your data, identify opportunities for improvement and strengthen your overall approach reporting.

Concurrent Session: Developing an Interactive Maps-based BI/Visualization Tool Grand Salon 21

With multifaceted business systems and operations, Delta Global Services (DGS), has established robust processes for compliance assurance and incident management – including a digitized, mobile-centric inspection program used at sites nationwide for compliance and inspection activities. While the program has been extremely successful in driving identification and closure of non-conformances, DGS was also searching for a way to manage the vast amounts of data being collected across sites for expanded operational insight and intelligence. DGS partnered with Gensuite to develop a new Google Maps-based solution augmented with integrated Tableau ® Analytics. The new solution embeds GPS tracking within the inspection process to allow sites to visualize "hot spots" by inspector, inspection checklist, area on site, and other dimensions. DGS now has an integrated data analytics solution that enables both operational and EHS leaders to perform rapid drill-down and visualization of inspection program findings.
