P&O Nedlloyd is one of the three largest container carriers in the world, providing services to about 120 countries worldwide.

Need: Build a Global Operational Planning and Control System (ATLAS). ATLAS, when completed, will be deployed worldwide in 50 or more countries with 1000+ users who will be able to access and track information about a shipment from anywhere in the world.
Solution:

TechOne analyzed and designed Global Shipment Planning & Tracking, Regional Land Based Operations Planning, Terminal Management, Transportation Planning (Rail, Truck, Barges, Feeders), Consolidation and LCL Management, Fleet Management, EDI Integration (Premenos), Communication Management, and Security Management. The team also prepared strategy to integrate ATLAS with the existing legacy systems.
The key challenges were:

  • Interacting with a business user group from different regions of the world and understand their requirements and streamline core business processes in such a diversified environment.
  • Designing a system that is highly customizable, and which will cater to the local needs of each region/country.

Boeing is the largest Aerospace Company in the world.

 

Need: Boeing wanted to reduce its sales-order to Delivery lead-time by half. Typical airliner construction involves a lot of customization driven by individual customer needs, which in turn costs time and money. As part of this initiative, they wanted to build a system that would reduce custom parts design time.
Solution:

Boeing has an inventory of several million part's designs in their data/knowledge base. TechOne designed and developed a "Preferred Parts Selection System" which provides an easy way to leverage the knowledge base to identify 'Preferred parts' from the design databases for each new aircraft order.

The solution involved three object servers, in a heterogeneous environment ranging from MVS to HP-UX. Orbix/MVS was used to wrap the legacy system, and Persistence O-R mapping tool was used to wrap the relational inventory databases. A question-answer session like interface was developed for users to easily interrogate the data / knowledge base.
Technology: UML, OOA/D, C++, CORBA / Orbix, Persistence, Oracle, MVS, HP-UX
