An analytics specialist at a manufacturing company is asked by the operations manager to produce a concise document outlining cost drivers and proposed process improvements. The manager needs solid evidence from production data and clear recommendations in a short timeframe. Which approach is most suitable to address these requirements?
Prepare a concise data-focused document with current cost driver analysis, recommended actions, and references to manufacturing metrics
Compose an organization-wide compliance update focusing on broad safety regulations and long-term strategic shifts
Develop a high-level executive slideshow with minimal analytical detail and no recommended actions
Compile an extensive review of production standards across multiple industries with minimal attention to actionable steps
A short, fact-based document that references recent production data, explains findings, and includes recommendations fits with a tactical or research report. It involves focusing on specific cost drivers and outlining actionable steps, which aligns with the operations manager's request. A wide-scope compliance document or a broad executive presentation may not offer the required detail or recommended actions. A report with exhaustive standards references is less suitable because the manager requested clarity and recommendations rather than lengthy standards comparisons.
