Integrating business intelligence and theory of constraints approach
Integrating business intelligence and theory of constraints approach

Summary/Abstract: Information technology’s (IT) projects face many complexities, challenges, and constraints such as uncovering and defining multiple dimensions of information and making data flexible enough to allow querying and mining. The key is to identify those constraints that affect the system’s efficiency. For those reasons and more, analysing and documenting business intelligence (BI) requirements creates a need for special knowledge. In this paper, a TOC-based method was developed to enhance the efficiency of BI, and the authors’ argument for supporting it is illustrated. Based on the analysis and discussion results, the authors show that the TOC-based method can improve BI efficiency and suggest, accordingly, several guidelines that can be followed for the efficient utilisation of BI applications.
