Customer Sessions

Incyte: Developing Resource Planning and Management Capabilities

Resource management and capacity planning require as accurate information as possible from the portfolio, operations, and finance teams in order to be the most effective. As outsourcing models, resource needs, scope of the pipeline, and complexity of protocols continue to change, especially in the era of COVID-19, resource management, budget, and operations teams must work together to strike the balance between cost savings and high quality, while managing the changing landscape of the workforce.

This presentation will highlight the journey a rapidly growing biopharma company has been on to accurately forecast resource needs to operationalize a robust portfolio of clinical trials. It will include challenges that were faced and continue to persist with introducing the concept of capacity planning, developing role-based algorithms, understanding different needs based on trial complexity and sourcing models, introducing new tools and dashboards, and using the data to drive decision making.

Jazz Pharmaceuticals: Turning Timecard Data into Resource Forecast Accuracy

Jazz Pharmaceuticals uses the project planning, timecard and parametric estimations modules from Planisware. Operationally accurate project plans, high level participation in tracking time actual data are key inputs to developing an accurate resource forecast. In order to ensure quality data, reducing errors in input was critical. This presentation will show how changes to user profiles improved compliance and data quality, and ultimately resources forecasts that are trusted throughout R&D.
