Implementation of a proprietary GanttView platform for effective project planning for PESA
Date: 2024
Effects
- Significant increase in efficiency and precision in project planning and allocation of human resources and positions, as well as progress reporting and early detection and tracking of delays in the built-in reporting system
- Coordinated work of hundreds of users from different departments of the company
- Ability to create alternative scenarios for analysis before converting the selected plan to final implementation
- Printing of schedule variants and data exports for management purposes
- The client uses the system extensively in short and long-term planning
- We are currently supporting the client with infrastructure and software maintenance. Among other things, we carried out an upgrade of the IFS ERP source system from version 8 to version 10, along with a re-do of the buffer and integration
Challenge
- Enabling efficient scheduling of construction projects of enormous scale
- The need to create and visualise utilisation schedules for hundreds of types of resources, taking into account thousands of concurrent projects
- The implementation was a challenge due to the high complexity of the project requiring intensive cooperation and communication of the entire team, as well as carrying out integration with the already existing IFS system
- Long-term streamlining of the production planning department
Transparency and consistency in processes and more efficient management of existing resources
Solution
- Harnessing the Solr search engine to generate the total daily utilisation of individual company resources projected onto the resources of planned projects
- Presentation in the form of an interactive Gantt chart and two-way integration with the company's main ERP system
- Visualisation of data in a user-friendly manner, transparency of information, flexibility of the application and access to data by users at different levels, very fast reading of data after updating in the ERP system, possibility to visualise the critical path
