Topic Introduction
This topic defines how Primavera EPPM could help Project Management,
Demand Supply and Procurement intensive industries alias ‘Asset Intensive’ to use
single source of truth for the organization wide consolidated demand and leveraging
the same to increase accuracy of demand supply and enhance economies of scale,
which directly increases revenue for the organization.
“Does Project Management, Demand Supply & Procurement Management
department in your organization work in sync ?“
Problem Statement
In most asset intensive industries, it is very critical to keep the project schedule & demand
supply & procurement in check. Over the years we have seen the number of projects /
organizations impacted due to in-accurate demand supply, in-efficient project tracking & loiter
procurement.
Common problems faced if there is no Project Management in “Asset Intensive” Organization
Project Management Team
• Lack of end to end project lifecycle tracking & visibility among repetitive projects.
• Difficulty in identification of reasons for Cost & Schedule over-run due to cross project
dependencies
• Foresight the delays & failing to make timely adjustments
• Failing to meet critical project milestone dates
Supply Chain Team
• Consolidated & Time based Project demand
• Demand accuracy
• Real Time demand change’s/updates as per varying project execution plan
• Inability to communicate real time progress to Project Team.

• Failing to keep procurement plan in sync with project schedule
• Insufficient data to leverage economies of scale
