Task Management Challenges

Prior to the implementation of Allocatus Top-Down Planning, Siemens Mobility faced a considerable challenge in managing its maintenance projects. A majority of the railway systems require maintenance work to be performed outside of regular business hours, necessitating meticulous planning of work shifts throughout the night. The process was largely manual, and despite their best efforts, the process was time-consuming and prone to human errors and communication mishaps. These inefficiencies could lead to schedule misalignments, causing delays and potential complications in the crucial maintenance process.

How Siemens Optimized Their Project Planning

The integration of Allocatus’s Top-Down Planning has brought about a significant shift in how Siemens Mobility handles its project planning. This solution integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Project Server, enabling employees to have direct, real-time access to their work schedules via their mobile devices and the Outlook Web App. Employees can view their exact working hours, and the chances of confusion or misunderstanding are greatly minimized. The improved transparency and accuracy brought about by Allocatus have made scheduling and communicating work shifts a breeze, leading to a more streamlined maintenance process. It has also allowed Siemens Mobility to harness its workforce more effectively, ensuring that maintenance tasks are performed promptly and efficiently. The end result is a more agile and responsive organization, better prepared to deliver exceptional service and uphold its commitment to safe and efficient mobility solutions.
