Case Study: AREVA achieves unified visibility and accelerated capacity planning with Tableau Software

Areva pulls it all together with Tableau

AREVA Renewable Energy, maker of the M5000 offshore wind turbine, faced a capacity‑planning challenge: with one plant producing 100 turbines a year the team needed to know when and where to open second and third plants and how many jobs those expansions would create. Planning and industrial strategy manager Erwan Simon sought a way to present cross‑functional data to executives to support those strategic decisions.

By deploying Tableau in about a month, AREVA consolidated sales, marketing, production, procurement and finance into single visual dashboards. The interactive views aligned departments around a clear delivery plan—timing, locations and resource needs—replacing limited Excel dashboards and giving the company a faster, organization‑wide way to plan and ensure turbines are delivered on time.
