Seven ways to leverage Business Intelligence to increase your manufacturing business’ production efficiencies by double-digits There is an important curve: f(x) = 1/(1+e^-x), the Sigmoid (or S) curve, with the shape of the Greek Sigma letter, which describes a large number of phenomena in the universe: At first the output increases slowly along with the input – so slowly that it seems almost constant. Then it starts to change faster, then very fast, then slower and slower until it becomes almost constant again. The Sigmoid curve captures the shape of phase transitions of all kinds, including the processes of ice melting, water evaporating, writing a bit of memory to a hard disk, an ion channel opening in a cell, the inflationary expansion of the early…
