Enumerate the OLAP concept with example.
SCHEME OF
EVALUATION
Online Analytical Processing (OLAP)
OLAP refers to a system in which there are predefined multiple instances
of various modules used in business applications. Any input to such a
system results in verification of the facts with respect to the available
instances.
A nearest match is found analytically and the results displayed form the
database. The output is sent only after thorough verification of the input
facts fed into the system. The system goes through a series of multiple
checks of the various parameters used in business decision making.
OLAP is also referred to as a multi dimensional analytical model. Many
big companies use OLAP to get good returns in business.
The querying process of the OLAP is very strong. It helps the
management take decisions like, which month would be appropriate to
launch a product in the market, what should be the production quantity to
maximize the returns, what should be the stocking policy in order to
minimize the wastage etc. (10 marks)
