Initial situation
A retail company is investing in the development of new production sites to expand its food production capabilities
The goal: To align existing and new sites within a unified process and technology standard (MES + ERP). A complex initiative with high strategic relevance for increasing efficiency, transparency, and long-term viability of production
Approach
Xenium assumes full responsibility for project planning, tracking, coordination of project teams, and overall budget controlling
We also manage external service providers and ensure a structured escalation process.
We set up regular, target group-oriented reporting to the executive board, CIO, and relevant business units to establish transparency and trust throughout the entire project
Result
We validate the existing program planning, optimizing it at key points with an adapted rollout approach and effective mechanisms to involve production sites
We improve rollout quality significantly and accelerate implementation with a broad-scope standardization
All production sites are transitioned successfully – on schedule
Success Factors:
Early involvement of production sites, standardized project approach.
