RATP Group ADO-IE Case Study: Streamlining Project and Resource Management in the Global Transportation Sector

Overview

For more than 35 years G. Christianson Construction has been operating throughout the Mid-Willamette Valley of Oregon, USA.

Used Service

Refinery & Petro Chemical Plants

With a presence in 15 countries and on 5 continents, RATP Group is the world’s third-largest urban transport operator and has been a historic operator in the Parisian transportation sector for over 70 years.

If you’ve ever ridden the famous red double-decker buses in London, commuted in Paris by subway, or toured Tuscany by railway, then you’re already familiar with some of their work. 

But building and maintaining a global portfolio of projects means that the RATP Group’s Operations and Maintenance team of experts (ADO-IE) is always on the go. In between international flights and new client meetings, managers required an accessible solution to scheduling. 

Find out how the team has taken on the challenge of meeting the demands of modern infrastructure and transportation systems with Ganttic’s resource planner.

Challenge

RATP Group is France’s state-owned enterprise that operates the country’s public transport systems. But for expert engineering consulting and support outside of France, look to ADO-IE, RATP Group’s Office for Operations and Maintenance.

Working closely with RATP Group specialists, the ADO-IE team is deployed regularly to design projects, consult on bids, and train specialists in more than a dozen countries. Providing technical assistance and maintenance engineering for railways, metro lines, and bus networks.

While each tender expanded the organization’s portfolio, with this growth came unforeseen challenges. 

As Fred Lavenaire, the Head of Bus and Light railway at RATP Group’s Development agency told us on our visit to their Paris HQ: 

“Before using Ganttic, we were using RATP homemade planning software (it does the job when you work 100% in France, but doesn’t fit our team’s needs) or sharing an Excel sheet.”

Our solution

For the team at the ADO-IE office, Ganttic provided a complementary high-level view of project resources, focusing on different time periods and perspectives. The cloud-based software also fit their specific needs, offering the simplicity, accessibility, and functionality the team was looking for. 

An additional selling point was that the tool was easy to handle, without requiring extensive training. Although the Support team was there whenever they needed it. 

Since the implementation, Ganttic has been used in the organization’s daily operations. Its primary function is managing resources across different projects. To do this, business managers are responsible for updating the software after coordinating with their teams. Ensuring that resource allocation is always current and accurate.
