QuestionQ2

Analyzing and optimizing technical and business processes

You analyzed TerramEarth's business requirement to reduce downtime and found that most time savings can be achieved by reducing customers' wait time for parts. You decided to focus on reducing the 3-week aggregate reporting time.

Which changes to the company's processes should you recommend?

  • A Migrate from CSV to binary format, migrate from FTP to SFTP transport, and develop machine learning analysis of metrics
  • B Migrate from FTP to streaming transport, migrate from CSV to binary format, and develop machine learning analysis of metrics
  • C Increase fleet cellular connectivity to 80%, migrate from FTP to streaming transport, and develop machine learning analysis of metrics
  • D Migrate from FTP to SFTP transport, develop machine learning analysis of metrics, and increase dealer local inventory by a fixed factor
Explanation

Replacing batch FTP transfers with streaming transport makes telemetry available continuously rather than waiting for batch delivery. Using a binary format instead of CSV reduces transfer and processing overhead, while machine learning analysis can identify patterns that support faster, predictive parts decisions. Together, these changes directly reduce the aggregate-reporting delay that contributes to customer wait time for parts.
