Kanri Distance approach for translating Predictive Models to Actions
Kanri proprietary combination of patented statistical and process methods provides a uniquely powerful and insightful ability to evaluate large data sets with multiple variables.
Case Study 2
Understanding Drivers of Transactional Net Promoter Scores (tNPS). This study was done in a Major Healthcare Company
Objective:
- To measure distances of dissatisfied customers from the satisfied customers and understand the drivers of dissatisfaction (higher distances) on individual basis from the information based on 1394 variables.
Approach:
- Construction of scale based 1394 variables and 19000 satisfied customers.
- Validation of the scale 17225 dissatisfied customers (abnormals).
- Optimization of the scale – first level 125 variables, second level – 30 variables and third level-16 variables.
Root cause analysis (RCA):
- Drivers with contribution ratios for all 17225 abnormals.
Success metrics:
Ease of use – the methodology is simple to execute and outputs are presented in straightforward manner. Contextual flagging provides simple variable/root cause prioritization.
Speed: Entire analysis performed in less than 2 business days.
Quality of insights: Distances and their drivers at individual level, ability to add new variables and new customers.

Kanri Distance Calculator and Classical Methods
Problem of multivariate diagnosis with a different philosophy.
- Classification Vs. Measurement.
- Healthy or Target group Vs. Abnormals.
- Probabilistic Vs. Data Analytic.
- Individualized root cause analysis to identify key contributors.
- Localized root cause analysis if needed to identify key contributors.
- KDC tests multiple simultaneous hypotheses.
- Randomization (Not an issue with KDC).
- KDC works well with both continuous and non-continuous data.
Creating a Management System with KDC
- Single distance calculation run including all available variables.
- Easily interpreted distance contributions on continuous scale – purely quantitative.
- Distance matrix translates directly into highly individualized management system.
- Includes Statistical Process Control built.
