locations

Southern Germany hub

Four campus locations across southern Germany run special-purpose machinery projects end-to-end in Allex.

Starting point

The challenges before Allex.

01

No overall view

Projects were scattered across Excel, MS Teams, and MS Project. There was no single view of status, deadlines, or workloads.

02

Resource conflicts

Employee capacity couldn't be planned across sites. Double bookings often surfaced too late.

03

Inconsistent data

Multiple systems produced contradictory data and required heavy manual upkeep.

04

Silos between teams

Project leads, procurement, engineering, and workshop teams worked in isolation. Synergies stayed on the table.

Rollout

From idea to full operation in two years.

Functions in use

How Bosch uses Allex today.

01

Templates for every project size

Large multi-department machine projects and smaller specialized orders. Project areas that aren’t needed are removed automatically.

02

Scenario planning

New orders are set up as scenarios. The project only goes live once the order is confirmed – capacity can be simulated with and without the order on the books.

04

API integration & Power BI

Projects are created via macro from Excel. Power BI delivers combined resource utilization across every site, budget vs. actual hours controlling, and project profiles.

03

Procurement tracking

Engineering requests parts as a task, including the bill of materials. Procurement maintains SAP numbers and delivery dates directly in Allex.

It can't add work, and at the same time it has to deliver real value. That was the benchmark for our rollout.

What's next

On the roadmap.

Reporting

Deeper Power BI controlling

Expanding Power BI reporting with richer drill-downs and live KPI views for end-to-end project controlling.

Workflow

Personal task planning

Establishing personal task planning for every employee so each team member runs their own day inside Allex.

Scale

More Bosch divisions

Integrating additional Bosch divisions and linking sub-projects across the wider PS organization.

Method

Critical Chain planning

Planning with buffers and steering by the bottleneck – the next step toward true CCPM-driven execution.
