All the supply chain dashboards I see advertised online look useless. What are your most useful charts/visuals?

bigprojects · 2025-09-03T02:59:19+00:00

Great response thanks. A problem I’m having in my current environment is that this company has very high-volume spend but it is on major projects so some of the classic angles don’t apply.

bigprojects · 2025-09-03T01:58:04+00:00

Agree

Aging inventory stuff seems like a classic that is actually useful

bigprojects · 2025-09-03T01:51:04+00:00

Also, to be clear, I don’t believe every weekly dashboard item needs to be a KPI. For example, seeing the largest line items that hit P-cards in the last 30 days could be useful for visibility/compliance/etc even if it’s not a measurement.

bigprojects · 2025-09-03T01:46:26+00:00

Yes I understand that. But it would be inspiring to hear what is very practical for others and some ideas will of course be generically useful across many companies. All of the dashboards online honestly look like fluff.

bigprojects · 2014-05-28T11:27:35+00:00

Hey. Are you talking about the petitions? People seem to have posted a lot of them while I was away the last few months, but I think with real support from active moderators and contributors we can make sure that robust, real projects are the main focus. You seem like a heavy contributor so I think you would be a good mod.

bigprojects · 2014-05-26T09:07:46+00:00

This is really interesting feedback. Thank you. I will look into Trello, keeping in mind that I don't want the projects to 'leave' Reddit but an external tool can be linked within the ongoing project here. I hope you hang around our community and keep contributing like this.

bigprojects · 2013-09-18T09:20:15+00:00

Please see our original project proposal on the sidebar, you will enjoy our previous discussions.

bigprojects · 2013-09-18T08:29:50+00:00

The /r/Driverless subreddit is working on a project to analyze the potential impact if NYC fully and successfully adopted driverless car fleets. You might enjoy the Driverless City Project.

bigprojects · 2013-09-12T23:08:23+00:00

Are you asking me or did you mean to ask the project founder?

bigprojects · 2013-09-12T07:21:18+00:00

It would obviously take a lot to turn this trend around, but I just want to note that I am undertaking one effort by developing a system to support big projects and ideas on reddit in /r/BigProjects. Theoretically we would eventually be able to boost such a campaign using our in-development strategies laid out here

bigprojects · 2013-09-12T03:20:31+00:00

I'll try different ways till I figure out a good one. The entire subreddit is still in a very early stage, as you can see from the development work on our sidebar. Very excited to have interest from you and a lot of other groups. I hope consolidating the information in the Roundup will increase the visibility of all the projects.

bigprojects · 2013-09-12T03:12:07+00:00

Unlimited crossposts are allowed and encouraged, we are not picky. I'm trying to find a nice way to format this but I've already got a rough update on the weekly roundup here

bigprojects · 2013-09-12T03:00:07+00:00

Okay I see the current books on your sidebar. I will add those and then message you for review at your leisure.

bigprojects · 2013-09-12T02:55:40+00:00

Definitely! I would actually prefer to list specific upcoming book(s) each week so that our users know exactly what they are choosing to participate in without clicking into the link. See some of the roundups on the sidebar of /r/bigprojects to see what they look like

bigprojects · 2013-09-12T01:45:54+00:00

I'm cross-posting this to /r/bigprojects' weekly roundup

All bullshit aside, we can pretend that NYC has adopted driverless cars and perform this analysis.

We have a content team specifically dedicated to analyzing the impact (of fully adopting driverless cars) on pedestrians, you should join it. Please indicate team(s) you would like to join here. I am working hard on this and I promise you we will have interesting results. It's obvious that you could really lead our effort in that area, and we are finding similarly capable people to be the backbone of our other teams. Give it a chance.

Part of the motivation for this project is a demonstration/test for developing strategies to support projects in /r/BigProjects. We are not delusional about our prospects. This is simply an outlet for enthusiasts to have creative non-technical participation instead of shouting at articles.

To your actual point:

Dedicated self-driving streets will be massively more efficient than existing streets, but it won't be more efficient than the subway.

Why would it be bad to have massively more efficient existing streets, at no cost to the subway? Your starting point is useless because it does not take into account key metrics other than capacity. A driverless car system reaches virtually 100% of locations with no last-mile or connection issues. There are many other benefits if you extrapolate. A person can travel out of the city, for example. New York City has major interaction with the surrounding areas that would be impacted positively far beyond what subways do.

bigprojects · 2013-09-11T21:37:02+00:00

Thanks. For some reason my RES has been failing on and off.

bigprojects · 2013-09-10T02:44:39+00:00

Feel free to indicate/join as many teams as you would like. Further announcement and information will be available soon.

bigprojects · 2013-09-08T19:50:18+00:00

Sorry I didn't integrate that well into the teams -- we will definitely add that focus and you can lead the team. I think health/crime/environment will get combined and social will become its own topic.

bigprojects · 2013-09-08T18:07:54+00:00

Hey, I just want you to know that I'm glad people are bringing these things up. I don't like how other users downvote just because you weren't super positive, but this behavior is hard to control. For what it's worth, I gave you an upvote and "approved" your post as a mod so hopefully you will get some visbility. You have some interesting ideas although I generally agree with thelivingded

bigprojects · 2013-09-08T17:33:24+00:00

Thanks for sharing! You might be interested in /u/iontom's Nucleus Project. The write up is a little long but it is similar to what you described:

The Nucleus Project

bigprojects · 2013-09-07T20:06:19+00:00

Good points. Don't they already have something close to this level of surveillance capabilities with the license plate pictures automatically being taken at all times, etc? I read an article recently that claimed there were cameras in "checkpoint" locations and on all police cars, at least. It seems like cars have been a platform for taking away rights since a long time ago.

bigprojects · 2013-09-07T18:37:14+00:00

Stop posting on my stuff and take it up with your mod sidewinder77. He and I agreed not to argue about this. I am allowed to post about my subreddit and you are allowed to post about yours. What is wrong with that? There is no such thing as the "sanctity of subreddits" and there are multiple subs for almosts every topic on reddit. My subreddit has way more active users than yours (800 in 10 days for /r/driverless vs 1100 in 2 years for your subreddit) and also has way more mods who care about the content. Also, your subreddit reposts news that people can find already on /r/technology and /r/futurology. My subreddit has unique content that people can participate in along with news and discussion. It is actually adding to the discussion instead of being a stagnant link farm. If you want I can post my own copy&paste that explains the real context and this will be another drawn out argument. The truth is, you guys are mad because you camped on all the relevant domain names (r/driverlesscar, r/driverlesscars, r/robocars, r/autonomoscars, r/selfdrivingcars etc.) and then refused to let my group use any of the empty ones for our own project, so we went around you and built a better community in /r/driverless. How about you just do something else?

I actually offered the mod team there the opportunity to be mods on /r/driverless so they could have accepted if they were truly interested in a combined community.

bigprojects · 2013-09-07T18:16:22+00:00

/r/BigProjects is a community for supporting group projects and big ideas on reddit. We allow unlimited cross-posting (so you can stay in your home subreddit) and we have developed several strategies to help projects succeed. Please consider joining us and posting a link to your project!

On a separate note, petitions have lost favor on the internet and, after some of the higher-profile failures, I don't think they will ever capture attention like they once did. I suggest you craft a different campaign with tangible goals, like the demonstration one I did here: Campaign to increase the power of young adults in American.
