Using Decision Support Rules to make  BellHawk Easy to Use and Simple to Deploy

An important feature of BellHawk is its use of client defined rules  to make BellHawk easy to setup and use. These rules enable each BellHawk system to be quickly tailored to the needs of each organization. These rules and related parameters are setup using Excel imports, which then become part of the BellHawk knowledge base.

Some of the ways in which client defined rules can be used are:

• To Select what data gets captured and when.
• To check data entry for both data collection errors and operational mistakes.
• To select which barcode labels to print and what data should appear on the labels.
• To perform real-time scheduling of jobs through work centers.
• To assist materials managers with planning what to buy and what to make and when.
• To control who has access to what information.
• To alert managers, supervisors, and material handlers when there are issues they need to pay attention to.
• To specify what information gets exchanged with other systems and when

These rules simplify the collection and dissemination of operational data as well as automating many routine operations management tasks.

While it can take a number of days to setup the knowledge-base for a specific organization, the result is then a system that is tailored to the need of each specific organization, usually without the need for software customization. Also, as much of the routine decision making is automated, training and deployment time and cost is significantly reduced.

Through its associated MilramX software, BellHawk provides a complete range of distributed decision support capabilities.
