Predictive Analytics For "Low-Tech" Facilities

More than 100 years ago, the invention of the internal combustion engine revolutionized automotive travel, and with it gave birth to a new industrial economy. Just as internal combustion once did, the proliferation of data science and analytics is once again reshaping the information economy and transforming how we interact with technology. Business analytics, in particular, is playing a pivotal role in improving operations at large-scale organizations. For example--UPS, a shipping service, saved $30 million in fuel by using predictive analytics. These kinds of cost savings are mouthwatering if you're a C-suite executive.
