The department is charged with conducting all regulated, small-molecule biological testing in the service of R & D. The scientists working in this department are organized into project teams managed by 8 project leaders.
The role of project leader is supported by company scientists; they launch projects based on existing models. These projects represent a large portion of research studies (up to 50), spanning from a few months to several years.
The studies consist of well-defined sequences, tasks and benchmarks. The situation is complex because of the large number of tasks and the fact that they must rely on studies supervised by other departments or by external research organizations.

Strategic Planning support
For Long Term Strategic Planning, high level bottlenecks and required investment levels can be identified under various demand conditions ( volume and mix) . Likewise , New Product development strategies can be informed taking the entire high level value and supply chain into account.
Results
- Faster and more agile selling Process
- Lower Cost with improved Resource
usage and optimized supply chain operations - Faster and more agile selling Process
Today, approximately 175 studies and 5,000 tasks are managed and scheduled with PlanningForce.
A steering committee and 8 project leaders use PlanningForce to schedule both resources and equipment for the entire biological testing department.
Today, the biological testing department is able to:
- Align scheduling with company strategy
- Deliver and bring projects to completion on schedule
- Optimize how resources are allocated
- Identify available resources
- Optimize forecasting for management’s use
- Identify peaks in demand
- Reduce the stress of those we work with
