Genencor Uses Critical Chain for Global Project Delivery

 Chicago, IL (January 28, 2004)—Genencor International, a global bio-tech company, has launched Critical Chain project management to accelerate the delivery of its strategic projects. The TOC Center (TOCC) has been selected to lead the implementation that will use Concerto software, from Realization Technologies, the leading next generation product.

 Genencor conducts a large number of mission-critical projects and has resources spread around the globe. The challenge of managing these efforts efficiently and insuring the on-going support to its manufacturing facilities has increased with the companies efforts to stay on the leading edge of technology. After an extensive review of the marketplace the company selected Critical Chain and TOCC as the only solution that promised a real breakthrough in project management. Genencor expects to both accelerate its project delivery and increase its on-time completion to near 100% which would give the company a greater competitive advantage and return to its shareholders.

Genencor joins a growing number of life sciences and medical products companies deploying Critical Chain and Concerto. In these industries, where managing time-critical projects is a key element of business success Critical Chain has proven itself as the methodology for on-time delivery and reduced project durations.
