Case Study: Fresenius Medical Care achieves global collaboration, transparency, and operational excellence with Planview ProjectPlace

Fresenius Medical Care Transforms Work and Collaboration Across its Global Organization

Fresenius Medical Care, a global healthcare company responsible for products and services that support patients with chronic kidney failure, tasked its Global Manufacturing Quality & Supply (GMQS) organization with transforming how work and collaboration happen across regions. GMQS faced siloed departments, inconsistent methodologies (from Agile to waterfall to Lean Six Sigma), poor communications and limited operational visibility, so the team selected Planview ProjectPlace (together with Planview Portfolios) to provide project portfolio management and project‑centric work delivery to drive the change.

By connecting Planview ProjectPlace with Planview Portfolios, the vendor helped GMQS implement “just enough” governance, common templates, dashboards and standardized reporting that raised project management maturity and eliminated duplicate tools. The Planview ProjectPlace solution increased transparency and collaboration across 50 production sites in more than 20 countries, reduced complexity, and gave leadership a unified view of portfolios and trends—making data‑driven decisions easier and automating much of the project data collection.
