About The Customer
Royal Philips Electronics is a Dutch multinational technology company specializing in lighting, healthcare and consumer lifestyle products and services.

Philips is listed on the Amsterdam and New York stock exchanges.
The Challenge
In 2011, Philips embarked on a journey to become an agile, process-oriented global company. To this end, Philips launched the “Accelerate!” program to build an agile and focused transformation process to help business owners bring propositions to market faster and improve existing business-market combinations. The challenge was to improve collaboration between business process owners, IT and internal and external partners and connect the different components of the IT transformation.
The Solution
Philips uses ARIS to improve collaboration between business process owners, IT and internal and external partners. More importantly, it helps connect the different components of the IT transformation. ARIS provides a tool to captures Philips’ various business models and visualize the end-to-end processes across domains. It documents the Components Business Models (CBM) to identify critical/non-critical, differentiating/ non-differentiating and common/un-common capabilities to understand how best to win in the market. It helps to measure and improve operational performance through performance targets, which are modeled, monitored and analyzed in ARIS. ARIS also provides dashboards and reporting to monitor and control design work.

Case Study
Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.
Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.
