Multidimensional Database Planning for Real-Time Performance Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing business planning management systems using unidimensional databases are inefficient and require significant human resources for manual data restructuring, leading to time lags in analysis and output, especially when switching between different business perspectives.
Innovation Solution
A multidimensional database system with project, process, and personnel dimensions, along with a planning creation unit and achievement management unit, allows for rapid data analysis and efficient business plan creation, enabling real-time business performance management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a unidimensional database is used to maintain data integrity and sequence, then data structure suitability for business execution is improved, but the system requires large amounts of human resources for manual construction and data restructuring
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a unidimensional database to a multidimensional database structure. This allows data to be organized across multiple dimensions (project, process, personnel, time) simultaneously, eliminating the need for manual data restructuring when switching between different business perspectives. The multidimensional structure inherently maintains data integrity while providing efficient access from various analytical viewpoints.
2Adaptability or versatility
If data is restructured to fit different perspectives (personnel evaluation, resource management), then analytical flexibility is improved, but time lags occur due to separate program and data structure creation
Solution Approach 1:
By implementing a multidimensional database with predefined dimensions (project, process, personnel, time), the system enables instant data slicing and dicing from any combination of perspectives without time-consuming restructuring. The same data structure supports multiple analytical viewpoints simultaneously, eliminating the time lag associated with creating separate programs and data structures for different business needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The multidimensional database structure serves multiple analytical functions simultaneously. A single data structure supports business planning, personnel evaluation, resource management, and other analytical perspectives without requiring separate constructions, making the system universally applicable to various business analysis needs.
3Productivity
If a multidimensional database is used to enable rapid data analysis, then productivity is improved, but the database design complexity and difficulty of acquiring multidimensional design abilities increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system predefines the multidimensional database structure with standard dimensions (project, process, personnel, time) before actual data analysis needs arise. This preliminary structuring eliminates the need for complex ad-hoc design when analytical requirements change, as the framework is already in place to support various analytical perspectives immediately.

AI summary
To provide an information processing system that enables the immediate retrieval of analytical information useful for business management utilizing a multidimensional database. The information processing system comprises a multidimensional database having at least a project dimension, a process dimension, and a personnel dimension; a planning creation unit that creates a business plan including at least project information, process information, and personnel information contained in each dimension of the database; and a performance management unit that inputs work start time and work completion time for the business plan. The multidimensional database stores hierarchical structure data containing at least the project information, process information, personnel information, work start time, and work completion time.
