Case Study: Leading Materials Science Company achieves faster data-driven capital decisions and improved strategic and financial returns with Planview

Leading Materials Science Company Optimizes Their Capital Portfolio by Improving Strategic and Financial Returns

A global leader in materials science with more than 50,000 employees and over $1B in annual capital investments needed to prioritize and optimize capital requests across 12 divisions and 70+ manufacturing sites. Their Center of Excellence faced inefficient processes and lacked the timely, trusted data and tools to rank projects, run scenario analyses, and drive strategic investment decisions.

They implemented Planview Enterprise One for strategic portfolio management—meeting strict security requirements and enabling a Portfolio Maturity Model approach—so teams could optimize portfolios at the division level, use PV/I ratios and scenario modeling, and surface trusted data via dashboards. The result: faster, data-driven capital decisions (including a rapid, targeted COVID response), a single source of record, measurable portfolio improvements as they reached Level 3 maturity, and growing enterprise adoption (including deployment of Planview LeanKit).
