B1 - Realising the Power of ‘One’ within Thales
12 /12 /Background – Primavera …
Primavera ?
All During 2004, Thales synthesized all its Divisions’ programme management processes on the basis of existing methodologies within the Group and international standards.
To support this process, a tool was chosen… Primavera, which is … a standard market tool widely utilised worldwide
particularly within companies functioning in Project mode
Its parameters are based on accepted business management processes
Acceptance: First, functional and technical experts accepted Primavera together with its parameters before testing
and validating it on pilot schemes
Decided at Group level to utilise this tool and its associated processes within the Divisions
13 /13 /Objective – Process supported by a tool…
Because Programmes are the whole point of reason for our business, the Thales objective is to improve
Anticipation & forecast accuracy
Transparency
Data consistency
The Thales worldwide deployment of Primavera is at the same time A more demanding application, but also more virtuous, of our process of Program
Management
A set of cultural changes
And finally, a tool in the service of the Programme Management
Use of a Thales “Primavera Core Model”
14 /14 /Why a core model ?
• secured fields
• set of standard codes
• configured layouts
• additional tools / functions
• data history
• simulation
• capability to capture “validated” programme situations
• Additional reports
• Excel
• Cognos (finance – workload)
• Interface with our BO

15 /15 /Keep in mind that …
Before looking at the PM process, keep in mind that Primavera stores all our data in a centralised & shared database
Any modification – at any level - is immediately recorded in the database
With limited undo capabilities
The current situation of our programmes is a “live” one (any change immediately affects the milestones, the cost at completion, the workload, …etc …..)
16 /16 / Why a Programme Management Process and Tool
An integrated Programme Management process for schedule, workload and costs

17 /17 /Scope of the Programme Management tool
All the programmes shall be managed within the Programme Management tool.
The functionalities to be used depend on the programme complexity as a minimum: start date – end date, workload, budget, costs
Workload forecast for the unit will be provided by Primavera and shall include:
Business opportunities, Current programmes, Other budgeted activities (PV, bids, warranties)
Primavera is built to meet both Programme Management and Finance needs
The Programme Management tool is the Master for the programme structure
The ERP is the master for actual costs
Every work package has its corresponding cost point in the ERP
EAC are transferred from the PM tool to the ERP
The Contract budget base is under the responsibility of the Programme Manager

The « update session » as currently practiced on programmes – and appears as a very efficient process. The programme team meets around the “live” Primavera schedule and updates it while discussing the issues. Typical duration is ½ to 1 day – depending on the programme size.
