Case Study: Pacific Northwest National Laboratory achieves faster megaproject risk analysis with Safran Risk

PNNL runs 10,000-iteration risk analyses in under ten minutes with Safran

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), a research institution managing complex megaprojects, faced significant challenges in handling the enormous scale and complexity of its project risks. A traditional risk analysis tool was insufficient for their needs, which involved thousands of activities and risks. PNNL sought a new, innovative solution to achieve higher efficiency and manage their vast volume of risk analyses, leading them to choose Safran Risk from vendor Safran.

The implementation of Safran Risk provided a huge improvement, drastically reducing analysis times from hours to under ten minutes for large cases. The solution enabled PNNL to automate and streamline its risk process, gaining complete visibility and the ability to model complex mitigation strategies. This allowed for smart, informed decisions that saved significant time and money on multi-billion dollar projects for their client, the US Department of Energy. Safran's collaborative service and responsive product development were also key benefits.
