Opex Planning Model for a global semiconductor manufacturer
Matasma helped the global semiconductor manufacturer set up opex planning process, and developed models for undertaking different planning processes
Challenges
- Bottom Up planning process for OPEX across 3 major geographies which had to align with there specific project to Cost Allocation methods
- Capability for real-time visibility and reconciliation for Plan and Actual in the finance model to ensure smooth closing and accurate reporting
- As this setup was for addressing 300+ users over 10+ Personas, it needed a simple build to reduce the performance load on the system due to concurrency while making sure access control and process control for different personas remains robust
Our Approach
- Alignment on key requirements from business in terms of Data / Visibility & Processes for different personas along with their cadence for the processes
- A simple design from a solution’s point of view and a refined build aligned with Anaplan Best Practices to minimize the system’s processing time
- Effective usage of multidimensionality and a mix of Anaplan’s Access Control mechanisms to ensure data security and smooth running of the processes
Delivered Outcomes
- The solution interfaced with the users with a 250 pages App covering over 4 different types of processes within OPEX Planning
- Automated the data sync between models, at the closing of every workday across time zone to ensure accurate reporting
- Automated the monthly closing process to eliminate any human effort
- Reduced the Project Management load for the customer
