Case Study: The Doe Run Company achieves faster, more coordinated financial planning with Workday Adaptive Planning

Doe Run Company Mines Through Data, Controls Costs with Adaptive Insights

The Doe Run Company, a privately held natural resources company and the largest integrated lead producer in the Western Hemisphere, struggled to manage planning and reporting across hundreds of spreadsheets and an increasingly cumbersome on-premise ERP setup. These manual processes made it difficult to maintain file links, track changes, control costs, and support decentralized planning across its diverse divisions. The company turned to Workday Adaptive Planning for financial planning.

Workday Adaptive Planning helped The Doe Run Company build customized financial models and forecasts across four U.S. locations, automating budgeting, variance analysis, reporting, and multi-division planning. The result was more accurate and efficient financial plans, faster re-forecasts, and a real-time consolidated view of performance. The company also reported significant total cost of ownership savings, with Workday Adaptive Planning costing about 10% of comparable on-premises solutions.
