HR & SUPPLY CHAIN ANALYTICS
• WHAT IS HRM?
• Human resource management (HRM) is the
process of employing people, training them,
compensating them, developing policies
relating to them, and developing strategies to
retain them. As a field, HRM has under gone
many changes over the last twenty years,
giving it an even more important role in
today’s organizations.
• The Roleof HRM
Keep in mind that many functions of HRM are
also tasks other department managers
perform, which is what makes this information
important, despite the career path taken.
Most experts agree on seven main roles that
HRM plays in organizations. These are
described in the following sections.
• Developmentofastaffingplan.This plan allows HRM to see how
manypeople theyshould hire based on revenue expectations.
• Development of policies to encourage multiculturalism at
work. Multi culturalism in the workplace is becoming more and
more important, as we have many more people from a variety
of backgrounds in the workforce.
• Recruitment.This involves finding people to fill the open
positions.
• Selection. In this stage, people will be interviewed and selected,
and a proper compensation package will be negotiated. This
step is followed by training, retention, and motivation.
TrainingandDevelopment
• Once we have spent the time to hire new employees, we want to make
sure they not only are trained to do the job but also continue to grow
and develop new skills in their job. This results in higher productivity
for the organization. Training is also a key component in employee
motivation. Employees who feel they are developing their skills tend to
be happier in their jobs, which results in increased employee retention.
Examples of training programs might include the following:
 ·Jobskillstraining, suchashowtorunaparticularcomputerprogram
 ·Trainingoncommunication
 ·Team-building activities
 ·Policyandlegaltraining,
 Such as sexual harassment training and ethics training
• Most companies need a human resource department or a manager with HR
skills.The industries and job titles are so varied that it is possible only to list
general job titles in human resources:
• Recruiter
• Compensation analyst
• Human resources assistant
• Employee relations manager
• Benefits manager
• Work-life coordinator
• Training and development manager
• Human resources manager
• Vice president for human resources
PLANNING AND RECRUITMENT
• The strategic plan may include long-term goals, while the HR
plan may include short-term
• objectives that are tied to the overall strategic plan. More
recently, however, the personnel department has divided into
human resource management and human resource
development, as these functions have evolved over the century.
• HRM is not only crucial to an organization’s success, but it
should be part of the overall company’s strategic plan, because
so many businesses today depend on people to earn profits.
• Strategic planning plays an important role in how productive
the organization is.
Examples of Differences between Personnel Management andHRM
• PersonnelManagementFocus
• Administeringofpolicies
• Stand-aloneprograms,suchastraining
• HRMFocus
• Helpingtoachievestrategicgoalsthroughpeople
• HRMtrainingprogramsthatareintegratedwithcompany’s
mission and values
• Staffing. Staffing includes the development of a strategic plan
to determine how many people you might need to hire.
Based on the strategic plan, HRM then performs the hiring
process to recruit and select the right people for the right
jobs.
• Basic workplace policies. Development of policies to help
reach the strategic plan’s goals is the job of HRM.
• Afterthepolicieshavebeendeveloped,communicationofthesep
oliciesonsafety,security, scheduling, vacation times, and
flextime schedules should be developed by the HR
department. Of
• course, the HR managers work closely with supervisors in
organizations to develop these policies.
• Work place policies will be addressed through out the book.
• Compensation and benefits. In addition to paychecks,
41(k)plans, health benefits, and other per k sare usually the
responsibility of an HR manager.
• Retention. Assessmen tof employees and strategizing on how to
retain the best employee isa task that HR managers oversee, but
other managers in the organization will also provide input.
• Training and development. Helping new employees develop
skills needed for their jobs and helping current employees grow
their skills are also tasks for which the HRM department is
responsible. Determination of training needs and development
and implementation of training programs are important tasks in
any organization. Succession planning includes handling the
departure of managers and making current employees ready to
take on managerial roles when a manager does leave.
HRMvs.Personnel Management
• Human resource strategy is an elaborate and
systematic plan of action developed by a human
resource department. This definition tells us
that an HR strategy includes detailed pathways
to implement HRM strategic plans and HR plans.
Think of the HRM strategic plan as the major
objectives the organization wants to achieve,
and the HR plan as the specific activities carried
out to achieve the strategic plan
• 1. Strategic partner. Partnership with the entire
organization to ensure alignment of the HR function with
the needs of the organization.
• 2. Change agent. The skill to anticipate and respond to
change within the HR function, but as a company as a
whole.
• 3. Administrative expert and functional expert. The ability
to understand and implement policies, procedures, and
processes that relate to the HR strategic plan.
• 4. Human capital developer. Means to develop talent
that is projected to be needed in the future.
• 5. Employee advocate. Works for employees currently
within the organization
HRM strategic plan:
• HRM strategic plan:
• 1. Make it applicable. Often people spend an
inordinate amount of time developing plans, but the
plans sit in a file somewhere and are never actually
used
• 2. Be a strategic partner. Alignment of corporate
values in the HRM strategic plan should be a major
objective of the plan. In addition, the HRM strategic
plan should be aligned with the mission and
objectives of the organization as a whole.
• 3. Involve people. An HRM strategic plan cannot be
written alone. The plan should involve everyone in
the organization.
• 4. Understand how technology can be used.
Organizations oftentimes do not have the
money or the inclination to research software
and find budget-friendly options for
implementation. People are sometimes
nervous about new technology. However, the
best organizations are those that embrace
technology and find the right technology uses
for their businesses.
Training and Development
• Once we have planned our staffing, recruited people, selected employees,
and then compensated them, we want to make sure our new employees are
successful. One way we can ensure success is by training our employees in
three main areas:
• 1. Company culture. A company culture is the organization’s way of doing
things. Every company does things a bit differently, and by understanding
the corporate culture, the employee will be set up for success. Usually this
type of training is performed at an orientation, when an employee is first
hired. Topics might include how to request time off, dress codes, and
processes.
• 2. Skills needed for the job. If you work for a retail store, your employees
need to know how to use the register. If you have sales staff, they need to
have product knowledge to do the job. If your company uses particular
software, training is needed in this area.
• 3. Human relations skills. These are non-job-specific skills your employees
need not only to do their jobs but also to make them all-around successful
employees. Skills needed include communication skills and interviewing
potential employees
Perform a Performance Appraisal
• The last thing an HR manager should plan is the
performance appraisal. It is definitely worth a mention
here, since it is part of the strategic plan. A performance
appraisal is a method by which job performance is
measured. The performance appraisal can be called
many different things, such as the following:
• 1. Employee appraisal
• 2. Performance review
• 3. 360 review
• 4. Career development review
RECRUITMENT
• The recruitment process is an important part of
human resource management (HRM). It isn’t
done without proper strategic planning.
Recruitment is defined as a process that
provides the organization with a pool of
qualified job candidates from which to choose.
Before company’s recruit, they must implement
proper staffing plans and forecasting to
determine how many people they will need.
• 1. Budget constraints
• 2. Expected or trend of employee separations 3.
Production levels
• 4. Sales increases or decreases
• 5. Global expansion plans
• External factors might include the following:
• 1. Changes in technology
• 2. Changes in Laws
• 3. Unemployment rates
• 4. Shifts in population
• 5. Shifts in urban, suburban, and rural areas
• 6. Competition
Recruitment Strategy
• 1. Refer to a staffing plan.
• 2. Confirm the job analysis is correct through
questionnaires.
• 3. Write the job description and job specifications.
• 4. Have a bidding system to recruit and review
internal candidate qualifications for possible
promotions.
• 5. Determine the best recruitment strategies for
the position.
• 6. Implement a recruiting strategy
Job Analysis and Job Descriptions
• With task job analysis, the specific tasks are
listed and it is clear. With competency based,
it is less clear and more objective. However,
competency-based analysis might be more
appropriate for specific, high-level positions.
For example, a competency-based analysis
might include the following:
• 1. Able to utilize data analysis tools
• 2. Able to work within teams
• 3. Adaptable
• 4. Innovative
Training Program Framework Development
SUPPLY CHAIN NETWORK
• Supply Chain is a connection of all the parties,
resources, businesses and activities involved in the
marketing or distribution through which a product
reaches the end user. It creates a link between the
channel partners like suppliers, manufacturers,
wholesalers, distributors, retailers, and the
customer. To put simply, it encompasses the flow
and storage of the raw material; semi-finished
goods and the finished goods from point of origin
to its final destination i.e. consumption
UNIT -4.pptx grojfdeukv Holbrook ythftujcd
• Material flow:
• Is the movement of goods from raw primary
goods (such as Wool, Trees and Coal etc.) to
complete goods (TV’s, Radios and Computers)
that are to be delivered to the final customer.
• Information flow: Is the demand from the
end-customer to preceding organisations in
the network.
UNIT -4.pptx grojfdeukv Holbrook ythftujcd
DEMAND PLANNING
• What is Demand Planning? Demand planning is a
supply chain management process of forecasting,
or predicting, the demand for products to ensure
they can be delivered and satisfy customers. The
goal is to strike a balance between having sufficient
inventory levels to meet customer needs without
having a surplus. A wide variety of factors can
influence demand, including labor force changes,
economic shifts, severe weather , natural disasters
or global crisis events .
• (1) Product Portfolio Management Product
portfolio management oversees the overall
product lifecycle, beginning with the introduction
of a new product through to its end-of-life
planning. In many cases, product lines are
interdependent, and understanding how new
products may influence demand for other
products is important to understanding the overall
product mix required to maximize market share.
• (2) Statistical Forecasting Using historical data,
statistical forecasting creates supply chain forecasts
with advanced statistical algorithms. In this area, it
is important to determine the accuracy of each
model, identify outliers and exclusions and
understand assumptions. Seasonal shifts (think the
spurt of holiday shopping that occurs between
October and December for retailers, or the boost in
yard equipment sales in spring months) can also be
assessed with statistical forecasting
• (3) Trade Promotion Management Trade
promotion or marketing events can influence
demand, especially in the retail industry. The
goal of a trade promotion is to help a brand
connect with a customer, often through an in-
store giveaway, discount, or promotion, and
these events can impact the demand for a
product.
INVENTORY AND SUPPLY CHAIN
MANAGEMENT
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
• Retail inventory is the stocking of products
that you sell to consumers. Use the system to
set profitable prices and ensure you have the
right amount of stock to meet demand
• Manufacturing Inventory Management Manufacturing
inventory management is the practice of keeping enough
stock on hand so production lines can fulfill orders. The
process helps managers see stock levels at a glance and tracks
raw materials, parts, work-in-progress and finished goods.
• What Is Multi-Location Inventory Management? Multi-
location inventory management is the process of managing
stock across multiple locations, warehouses, and retail stores
or across multiple selling channels. With multi-location
management, you can watch stock levels in all locations and
optimize your inventory to fulfill orders
• What Is an Inventory Management System? An
inventory management system combines varying
software packages to track stock levels and stock
movements. The solution can integrate with
multichannel sales systems or shipping systems.
• How to Choose an Inventory Management System?
Choosing an inventory management system is a matter
of identifying the features your business needs. Do you
need to track stock movements and location within a
warehouse, or plan inventory and track trends, or both?
LOGISTICS
• What is Logistics and Supply Chain Management?
"Logistics typically refers to activities that occur within the
boundaries of a single organization and Supply Chain
refers to networks of companies that work together and
coordinate their actions to deliver a product to market.
Also, traditional logistics focuses its attention on activities
such as procurement, distribution, maintenance, and
inventory management. Supply Chain Management (SCM)
acknowledges all of traditional logistics and also includes
activities such as marketing, new product development,
finance, and customer service" - Michael Hugos
UNIT -4.pptx grojfdeukv Holbrook ythftujcd
• What is Logistics? "Logistics is about getting
the right product, to the right customer, in the
right quantity, in the right condition, at the
right place, at the right time, and at the right
cost (the 7 Rs)" - John J. Coyle et al In the past,
various tasks were under different
departments, but now they are under the
same department and report to the same
head as below
UNIT -4.pptx grojfdeukv Holbrook ythftujcd
• What is Logistics Management? "Logistics
Management deals with the efficient and
effective management of day-to-day activity in
producing the company's finished goods and
services" - Paul Schönsleben
• What is Supply Chain? "Supply Chain is the network of
organizations that are involved, through upstream and
downstream linkages, in the different processes and activities
that produce value in the form of products and services in the
hands of the ultimate consumer" - Martin Christopher
• What is Supply Chain Management? Each researcher defines
supply chain management differently. However, we would like
to provide the simple definition as below, "Supply Chain
Management (SCM) refers to the coordination of production,
inventory, location, and transportation among the participants
in a supply chain to achieve the best mix of responsiveness and
efficiency for the market being served" -Michael Hugo
ANALYTICS APPLICATIONS IN HR & SUPPLY
CHAIN
• Advanced analytics can be leveraged by HR
teams to positively impact both talent and
business decisions in the organization. HR can
evolve from being just a people-management
function to playing a more transformational
role in human capital management and being
a strategic business partner in the company.
• 1. Hiring The Right Talent With Competency
Acquisition Analytics Hiring the right talent is
instrumental to a company’s success with
employees amounting to one of the biggest
costs and greatest opportunities in most
businesses. Hence, in order to study whether
or not you are acquiring the right talent for
your business, competency acquisition
analytics can be used
• 2. Recruitment Channel Analytics Just as
important as hiring the right talent, is
understanding where the best talent is coming
from. Recruitment channel analytics is a
process that helps determine where an
organization’s best employees have been
recruited from, and what recruitment
channels have been most effective in hiring
the right resources for the company
• 3. Classification Analysis To Determine The
Success Rate Of Teams Classification analysis is
the process of analyzing historical data to
identify patterns that help us predict which
category a particular observation or data
entity belongs to. In HR, this analytical method
can be used to study the composition of a
team, and other context variables in order to
determine how successful the team will be.
• 4. Attrition Analysis High attrition is a huge challenge for HR
teams and cost intensive for companies. Job postings,
recruiting, onboarding and training are some significant
expenses of losing employees and replacing them. This is a
bigger problem if you’re in a customer-facing business as
customers prefer to work with a particular set of people
they’re habituated with. One way to reduce attrition is by
using advanced analytics and NLP to harness the employee
reviews data from employment websites like Glassdoor,
Indeed, Comparably etc. This analysis helps you measure the
employee satisfaction towards the brand and understand the
common factors that lead to attrition
• 5. Personalizing Training Programmes Instead
of applying run-of-the-mill training methods
and general programs for all employees, the
HR team can instead personalize courses to
suit the learner’s preference.
• 6. Capacity Analytics And Utilization One of the major
business benefits of advanced analytics in HR is in cutting
down costs. HR teams can use Capacity Analytics to
determine
• What the team capacity is and how much of it is actually
being utilized.
• What activities the team is engaged in when they are
working.
• What processes, tools, and applications are being used to
complete the work and how much they cost the company.
• How operationally efficient the team is – helps determine
if the team is either overworked or underutilized.
• The capacity for growth.
APPLYING HR Analytics to make a prediction of
the demand for hourly employees for a year
• UPS Improves Employee Performance And Productivity An example of a
company using HR analytics to improve employee performance can be seen in
the logistics giant, UPS. UPS has provided its drivers with intelligent handheld
computers that help drivers make better decisions, such as determining which
order to deliver parcels in for the most efficient route. Additionally, the company
collects crucial data on the behavior of the driver with the help of more than
200 sensors that are fitted onto the trucks. These sensors record data on
everything the driver does, such as whether or not they wore a seatbelt or how
many times they reversed the vehicle. This data is then used to provide feedback
to the drivers and suggest improvements or training wherever needed. Another
major impact the insights have had is on the revenue of the company.
• UPS has achieved a reduction of 8.5 million gallons of fuel and 85 million miles
per year. Drivers are now making more deliveries per day with an average of 120
stops a day as opposed to less than 100 in the past
• Bank Of America Saves $15 Million With Retention
Analytics Turnover rates in US-based call centres are
generally high – about 40%. And Bank of America was
experiencing a similar problem with its call centres as well.
This in turn led to poor customer experience and customer
frustration. After collecting data from all its call centers, the
company leveraged analytics to understand the root cause
for such high turnover rates. The company found that the
call centers which promoted inter-office collaboration have
higher retention compared to the ones that did not. Using
this insight, the bank optimized its business policies and
allowed everyone to take breaks together. After just a few
weeks of this change, Bank of America witnessed that the
call handling time was 23% faster and cohesiveness was up
by 18%. This led to the company saving $15 million with the
increased productivity and decreased employee turnover

  • 25. SUPPLY CHAIN NETWORK • Supply Chain is a connection of all the parties, resources, businesses and activities involved in the marketing or distribution through which a product reaches the end user. It creates a link between the channel partners like suppliers, manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, retailers, and the customer. To put simply, it encompasses the flow and storage of the raw material; semi-finished goods and the finished goods from point of origin to its final destination i.e. consumption
  • 27. • Material flow: • Is the movement of goods from raw primary goods (such as Wool, Trees and Coal etc.) to complete goods (TV’s, Radios and Computers) that are to be delivered to the final customer. • Information flow: Is the demand from the end-customer to preceding organisations in the network.
  • 29. DEMAND PLANNING • What is Demand Planning? Demand planning is a supply chain management process of forecasting, or predicting, the demand for products to ensure they can be delivered and satisfy customers. The goal is to strike a balance between having sufficient inventory levels to meet customer needs without having a surplus. A wide variety of factors can influence demand, including labor force changes, economic shifts, severe weather , natural disasters or global crisis events .
  • 30. • (1) Product Portfolio Management Product portfolio management oversees the overall product lifecycle, beginning with the introduction of a new product through to its end-of-life planning. In many cases, product lines are interdependent, and understanding how new products may influence demand for other products is important to understanding the overall product mix required to maximize market share.
  • 31. • (2) Statistical Forecasting Using historical data, statistical forecasting creates supply chain forecasts with advanced statistical algorithms. In this area, it is important to determine the accuracy of each model, identify outliers and exclusions and understand assumptions. Seasonal shifts (think the spurt of holiday shopping that occurs between October and December for retailers, or the boost in yard equipment sales in spring months) can also be assessed with statistical forecasting
  • 32. • (3) Trade Promotion Management Trade promotion or marketing events can influence demand, especially in the retail industry. The goal of a trade promotion is to help a brand connect with a customer, often through an in- store giveaway, discount, or promotion, and these events can impact the demand for a product.

  • 42. ANALYTICS APPLICATIONS IN HR & SUPPLY CHAIN • Advanced analytics can be leveraged by HR teams to positively impact both talent and business decisions in the organization. HR can evolve from being just a people-management function to playing a more transformational role in human capital management and being a strategic business partner in the company.
  • 43. • 1. Hiring The Right Talent With Competency Acquisition Analytics Hiring the right talent is instrumental to a company’s success with employees amounting to one of the biggest costs and greatest opportunities in most businesses. Hence, in order to study whether or not you are acquiring the right talent for your business, competency acquisition analytics can be used
  • 44. • 2. Recruitment Channel Analytics Just as important as hiring the right talent, is understanding where the best talent is coming from. Recruitment channel analytics is a process that helps determine where an organization’s best employees have been recruited from, and what recruitment channels have been most effective in hiring the right resources for the company
  • 45. • 3. Classification Analysis To Determine The Success Rate Of Teams Classification analysis is the process of analyzing historical data to identify patterns that help us predict which category a particular observation or data entity belongs to. In HR, this analytical method can be used to study the composition of a team, and other context variables in order to determine how successful the team will be.
  • 46. • 4. Attrition Analysis High attrition is a huge challenge for HR teams and cost intensive for companies. Job postings, recruiting, onboarding and training are some significant expenses of losing employees and replacing them. This is a bigger problem if you’re in a customer-facing business as customers prefer to work with a particular set of people they’re habituated with. One way to reduce attrition is by using advanced analytics and NLP to harness the employee reviews data from employment websites like Glassdoor, Indeed, Comparably etc. This analysis helps you measure the employee satisfaction towards the brand and understand the common factors that lead to attrition
  • 47. • 5. Personalizing Training Programmes Instead of applying run-of-the-mill training methods and general programs for all employees, the HR team can instead personalize courses to suit the learner’s preference.
  • 48. • 6. Capacity Analytics And Utilization One of the major business benefits of advanced analytics in HR is in cutting down costs. HR teams can use Capacity Analytics to determine • What the team capacity is and how much of it is actually being utilized. • What activities the team is engaged in when they are working. • What processes, tools, and applications are being used to complete the work and how much they cost the company. • How operationally efficient the team is – helps determine if the team is either overworked or underutilized. • The capacity for growth.
  • 49. APPLYING HR Analytics to make a prediction of the demand for hourly employees for a year • UPS Improves Employee Performance And Productivity An example of a company using HR analytics to improve employee performance can be seen in the logistics giant, UPS. UPS has provided its drivers with intelligent handheld computers that help drivers make better decisions, such as determining which order to deliver parcels in for the most efficient route. Additionally, the company collects crucial data on the behavior of the driver with the help of more than 200 sensors that are fitted onto the trucks. These sensors record data on everything the driver does, such as whether or not they wore a seatbelt or how many times they reversed the vehicle. This data is then used to provide feedback to the drivers and suggest improvements or training wherever needed. Another major impact the insights have had is on the revenue of the company. • UPS has achieved a reduction of 8.5 million gallons of fuel and 85 million miles per year. Drivers are now making more deliveries per day with an average of 120 stops a day as opposed to less than 100 in the past
  • 50. • Bank Of America Saves $15 Million With Retention Analytics Turnover rates in US-based call centres are generally high – about 40%. And Bank of America was experiencing a similar problem with its call centres as well. This in turn led to poor customer experience and customer frustration. After collecting data from all its call centers, the company leveraged analytics to understand the root cause for such high turnover rates. The company found that the call centers which promoted inter-office collaboration have higher retention compared to the ones that did not. Using this insight, the bank optimized its business policies and allowed everyone to take breaks together. After just a few weeks of this change, Bank of America witnessed that the call handling time was 23% faster and cohesiveness was up by 18%. This led to the company saving $15 million with the increased productivity and decreased employee turnover
