Case Study

Profit

3 hours vs 3 weeks to plan a satellite project.

Problématique

Time-consuming and tedious costing and planning process :

• Imprecise planning, too manual
• Inability to explore the impacts (deadlines, costs, resources) of alternative scenarios

Solution

Capitalize on past projects to generate based on complexity criteria :

• Reliable planning scenarios
• With workload plan and associated costs

ROI

• Reduction in planning load (+50%) and increase in the number of scenarios evaluated
• Increased traceability of selected hypotheses
  
• Improved Time-To-Market and development cost thanks to the better level of information when making decisions
  

Profit

1 Million € of income per day of production preserved

Problematic

Planning technical shutdowns (Shutdowns) in a pharmaceutical environment is complex, subject to multiple constraints, and has a direct impact on production capacity.

Solution

• Implementation of a visual planning, interfaced with time and team planning
• Automation of the planning process with a process block approach
  

ROI

• Control of technical shutdown
• Securing production rates
  
• -90% time spent on the planning process
  

Profit

2 Million € ROI after 4 months of use

Problematic

Optimize the deadlines for a strategic machine replacement program to increase production :

• Strong capacity constraints
• Coactivity issues
  

Solution

A tool integrated with current planning tools :

• Secure deadlines
• Simulation of impacts to facilitate strategic decisions
  

ROI

• Drastic reduction in planning & reporting time
• Enrichment of the decision-making process
  
• Proposals for optimization solutions to reduce delays and increase project profitability
  

Profit

€400k ROI after 12 months of use

Problematic

Simplify the S&OP load plan process (ongoing projects + incoming business).

• Operational: anticipate resource needs
• Financial: better predict the financial impacts linked to underload
  

Solution

Use OFFOLIO's simulation capabilities to :

• Create workload plans in a few seconds (incoming business)
  
• Consolidate with the current project portfolio
  
• Prioritize the remaining project to be done, thanks to an SAP interface (feedback of hours and budgets consumed)
  
• Enable design offices to create action plans, based on allocated load hypotheses
  

ROI

• Reduction of interstitial underload
  
• Reduction of call for subcontracting
  
• Reduction of time spent on the load plan
