Product portfolio management
with a leading German car manufacturer
A German automobile manufacturer in the premium segment uses cplace for its strategic product portfolio management. The main focus of the application is the company’s production ramp-up management, which coordinates all activities from the first prototype through to series production. The ability to control interdependencies between several production ramp-ups effectively is crucial – letting too many variants of a model enter the market simultaneously should be avoided, while plants, Marketing and Sales should not be overburdened. In a two-week Rapid Prototyping Project,collaboration Factory developed a solution prototype that reflects all vehicle projects and their interdependencies in a single data model using sophisticated visualizations.
Challenge
Up until 2016, the company used to coordinate its schedules and its engineering planning activities across the entire product portfolio using Excel spreadsheets.
As a result, there were always two different planning statuses – a long-term plan and a decision status reflecting current decisions from committees and board meetings. Team members had to take every single change decision for the long-term plan from meeting minutes and transfer them into an Excel document, which resulted in a significant amount of extra manual work.
