By Sean Duclaux on Apr 10th, 2013

Auch in wirtschaftlich turbulenten Zeiten stehen Unternehmen vor der alljährlichen Herausforderung, wie sie ihre Produktivität steigern. Ersatzteilhersteller und Zulieferer werden aus zahlreichen Kanälen beliefert, bedienen Tausende von Kunden und bieten Millionen von Produkten an. Kontinuierliche Umsatzsteigerung gleicht für sie deshalb einem Wettlauf durch den Dschungel: Sie müssen sich gegen aggressive Konkurrenten zur Wehr setzen, Verhandlungen…

Wer dreht denn mal die Platte um?

By Sean Duclaux on Mar 28th, 2013

In einer Zeit ohne digitale Speichermedien wie CD, iPod und Zune, lange bevor Provider wie Pandora und Spotify nahezu unbegrenzten Zugriff auf Songs boten, kam die Musik von der Vinyl-Schallplatte. Und seit sich vor ungefähr fünf Jahren eine kriselnde Branche wieder ihrer Anfänge besann, begrüßen all die “echten” Musikliebhaber, die vor zwei Jahrzehnten das langsame…

Harnessing Big Data for the Service Parts Industry

0

By Sean Duclaux on Mar 21st, 2013

Even in a tough economy, organisations still face the same challenge each year: hitting bigger quotas. For service parts manufacturers and distributors dealing with multiple channels, thousands of customers and millions of products, achieving sales growth can be like finding that proverbial needle in the haystack.

… but Superman does not use avionics, why should I? It can be said that a pilot flying without avionics is similar to aftermarket service part companies trying to achieve pricing excellence without pricing software. It’s just something you don’t do!

Whose Turn Is It to Flip the Record?

0

By Sean Duclaux on Feb 21st, 2013

Before compact discs, iPods and the Zune, Pandora and Spotify, vinyl records were the way to play music. And to any “real” music lover, over the past two decades we experienced a slow painful death of vinyl, only to see a resurgence during the last five years with the music industry taking a step back…

By Sean Duclaux on Jul 30th, 2012

The service parts industry – specifically automotive, heavy equipment, aircraft and aerospace parts manufacturing and distribution – generates trillions of dollars in annual revenues.

Is the Service Parts Industry Like the Lemming Suicide Plunge?

0

By Sean Duclaux on May 15th, 2012

There’s a mythic legend we’ve all probably heard of related to the “Lemming Suicide Plunge.” The story goes that lemmings — small, short-tailed rodents – are apparently overcome by deep-rooted impulses and deliberately run over a cliff in the millions.
