Info

0003003: (Analytics Reports) Create a module to produce this type of reporting

Core need

We want to automate generation of special class of xls reports ("Utilization and Cost Saving Modeling reports"):

• based on CT2 database data
• Complex: mulitab, mix of graphics and tables on one page
• Normally related to utilization rates and costs, times
• Used as a tool for modeling of how to tweak different parameters such as transit times and utilization rates to reduce costs
• Challenge is that every time we need to pull fresh data and apply formulas and charts
• we also want to have “in system” (DR (Dashboard Reports)) version of these reports
• see 2 examples in 0003003
  • examples#1 is well defined in TMS Monthly Stats Report - see Copy of Copy of July Activity Stats Final.xlsx
  • ex#2 - see up+kpi+-+analytics+report+SAMPLE.rar
