Sustainability Analysis using Power BI

This module provides an overview of sustainability concepts in the engineering and manufacturing sectors. It covers sustainability's environmental, social, and economic aspects, including the need for sustainability in these sectors, backed by facts, statistics, and real-world examples. Participants will gain an understanding of the global sustainability challenges and opportunities and how the engineering and manufacturing sectors can contribute to a more sustainable future.

• Understanding the urgent need for sustainability in the engineering and manufacturing sectors
• Examining the environmental, economic, and social impacts of engineering and manufacturing processes
• Exploring the global and local sustainability challenges faced by these sectors
• Reviewing relevant regulations, standards, and frameworks related to sustainability in the engineering and manufacturing industries
• Where does Data Analytics fit into sustainability?

• Overview of Power BI as a powerful data analytics and visualisation tool
• Understanding the benefits of using Power BI for sustainability analysis in engineering and manufacturing sectors
• Learning the basics of Power BI, including the interface, navigation, and data connections

Energy efficiency tracking enables organisations to monitor, analyse, and optimise their energy consumption patterns, identify areas of improvement, and implement effective strategies to reduce energy waste, lower costs, and minimise environmental impact. 

In our first business case, we use PowerBI to analyse and track energy usage across different business units. This can further help the business take data-informed decisions in their sustainability efforts. Modules 3-5 will walk through various features of PowerBI and how it can help in effective data visualisation.

 

• Understanding the business data and identifying key metrics and KPIs
• Understanding the importance of data quality and integrity in analysis
• Using Power BI tools for data cleaning, shaping, and transformation to ensure reliable results
• Applying data modeling techniques in Power BI to structure and optimise data

This module focuses on designing effective visualisations and reports in Power BI for reporting. Participants will learn best practices for designing visualisations that effectively communicate data, including selecting appropriate chart types, applying data visualisation principles, and creating interactive and dynamic reports. 

• Designing effective and impactful visualisations in Power BI
• Formatting our visualisations to improve its effectiveness
• Creating interactive and dynamic reports
• Performing advanced analytics operations to obtain deeper insights
  • Using DAX Functions
  • Drill Through Features

Participants will learn how to tell a data-driven story for our first business case in Power BI. They will learn how to use storytelling techniques to make their data come alive, engage their audience, and communicate their message effectively. 

• Understanding data storytelling and its elements
• How to create a data-driven story?
• Incorporating storytelling techniques in sustainability reporting using Power BI to engage stakeholders
• Sharing and distributing Power BI reports and dashboards for collaborative decision-making in sustainability initiatives

 

• Reviewing real-world case studies of successful sustainability analysis and reporting using Power BI
• Discussing best practices for sustainability data analysis and reporting using Power BI, including data governance, data security, and data privacy
• Identifying challenges and limitations in using Power BI for sustainability analysis and discussing potential solutions
• Exploring future trends and emerging technologies in sustainability analysis and reporting in the engineering and manufacturing sectors

 

Carbon footprint analysis is crucial for understanding and managing an organisation's environmental impact, setting emission reduction targets, and implementing sustainability initiatives. It provides organisations with valuable insights into their carbon emissions, helps identify areas for improvement, and guides the development of strategies to reduce emissions, optimise resource usage, and transition towards a low-carbon economy. Moreover, carbon footprint analysis is increasingly required for regulatory compliance, green certifications, and sustainability reporting, making it an essential tool for organisations committed to sustainable business practices and mitigating climate change.

Participants will use the data and instructions provided and build an interactive dashboard to analyse carbon footprint and take key crucial decisions based on the dashboard created.

• Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of sustainability in the engineering and manufacturing sectors, encompassing environmental, social, and economic dimensions.
• Through hands-on experience and practical exercises, participants will develop proficiency in using Power BI for data analysis and reporting. They will learn essential skills such as data cleaning, transformation, and advanced analysis techniques, empowering them to analyse sustainability data and extract meaningful insights effectively.
• The course equips participants with skills to design compelling visualisations and reports tailored for sustainability reporting. By leveraging Power BI's capabilities, participants will be able to present complex sustainability data clearly, concisely, and visually engagingly, facilitating effective communication with stakeholders.
• Participants will be able to identify areas for improvement within engineering and manufacturing operations by analysing sustainability data.
• The course emphasises the importance of collaboration with stakeholders and integrating sustainability considerations into the decision-making process. Participants will learn to use Power BI as a communication and reporting tool to engage stakeholders effectively. This skill set will enable them to foster collaboration, build consensus, and facilitate the integration of sustainability principles into organisational practices, thereby creating a positive impact.
