Business Problem

  • Necessity to track resource demand at the intake-level for project and resource management planning. 
  • Ability to determine resource decisions utilizing Power BI reports. 
  • Visibility into resource demand was requested for upcoming projects and ability for Resource Managers to assign resources to projects at the intake level, pre-project kickoff. 
  • Need for visibility into resource allocation to determine which resources are over- vs under-allocated.

Winning Solution

Marque360’s Solution for MasterBrand Cabinets. Here’s how the solution works:

  • Marque360 Team consulted on a resource management issue for MasterBrand and provided a solution for tracking resource demand at the intake level, by assigning named resources to specific roles requested.
  • The solution also included automation of approved resource requests within new project created in Planner, directly from the intake application. Utilizing the pre-existing product, also developed by Marque360, we were able to provide an enhancement to the existing application along with the automation of new projects.
  • Power BI enhancements were also recommended to reflect the intake resource demand by utilizing a filter on the report, which would include intake demand on visual data sets on demand. 
  • Lastly, configuration enhancements included providing simple view updates within Project, for visualizing each team member, their role, and the total effort hours, increasing efficiency in decision-making and management.
