TexRay then started to search for a decision analysis tool containing characteristics of “convenience” and “security.”The company operates and analyzes the new factory with the four KPI management indicators, financial, sales, growth, and profits, through ARES BI KPI Template, assisting the factory and the head office managers to accurately determine and make key decision, leading the expansion of the TexRay world map gradually.
