Analytical Business Reporting

Companies strive to constantly improve their operational efficiency -- to increase productivity and lower operating costs. Operational analysis reports show how efficiently the company is operating and recommend ways to increase productivity in the future. An analysis of inventory management might show that the company faces periodic shortages of key raw materials that prevent it from filling all of its orders on time. The analyst preparing the report might conclude that the company should look for back-up suppliers of these items so the necessary materials will always be available when needed.
