Case Study: Aubert & Duval achieves 18-month capacity predictability and stronger PMO control with Sciforma

Aubert & Duval Improving the Management of Product Development Cycles Starting with a Hands-on PMO

Aubert & Duval, the alloy division of Eramet that supplies critical parts to aerospace and defense, faced fragmented project tracking and limited visibility into the workload of its product design teams (about 150 people across multiple sites). The company needed better control of resource capacity, milestone-driven tracking, and a centralized project portfolio approach—so it created a cross-functional PMO to standardize processes and drive adoption of a new tool.

They deployed cloud Sciforma with configuration and change-management support from partner ASI and staffed a hands-on PMO to manage models, time tracking and phase-gate milestones. The solution delivered an 18-month, team-and-role view of capacity, probability-weighted forecasts, multicriteria resource planning and a “My Projects” view for managers—uncovering over-allocation, prompting 22 new hires, improving resource alignment and strengthening project management across the organization.
