Case study of judgement by top management by data visualization and possibility of adaption for 3S model

Abstract

In a global company, it takes time for the regional headquarters to compile monthly information on overseas subsidiaries because of the different cost and sales situations in each country. The longer it takes to report the previous month's information, the slower it takes for the headquarters to make global decisions and issue appropriate instructions to each company. To solve this problem, we found three essential issues: it takes time to input the information into the format desired by each level in the characteristic factor chart, to tabulate the information, and to confirm the information because each level is responsible for the numerical values it produces. Data visualization was applied to verify the results. The relevance of the 3S model of P2M to the case study in which this model was applied and its potential for program management education are discussed, and it is found that there is a link between data visualization and the 3S model.
