What Toyota could have done better

Beye network has already turned up in Berlin and quickly produced an audio podcast with Duncan Ross, Teradata’s EMEA director of advanced analytics. In the interview, Duncan explains how data warehousing might have helped Toyota handle its recent quality problems in a better way. Mind that he doesn’t say that problems could have been avoided in the first place, given the complexity of engines, electronics etc. you find in cars these days. Rather he says that the scale of the problems, and possibly the cause, could have been identified earlier.

If you want to get an idea of what the automotive track on Tuesday morning is all about, take 10 minutes and listen to this podcast: http://www.b-eye-network.com/listen/13067.
