Manufacturing Budget Overrun Prevention

How a manufacturing leader saved €2.1M on a plant expansion.

Budget burn was accelerating silently. Praeveo flagged it 4 weeks before the quarterly review.

budget deviation caught

A €18.4M plant expansion was on track according to monthly reports. But the weekly data told a different story — budget burn had been accelerating for 3 weeks, hidden by aggregated monthly reporting.

By the time the quarterly review arrived, the project would have been 23% over budget with no course correction possible. The signals were buried in spreadsheets and status updates that no one had time to cross-reference.

Leadership was confident. The data said otherwise.

Three signals. One connected pattern.

Critical

Budget burn rate +23% above plan

Weekly spend trajectory diverged from plan 3 weeks ago. Pattern matches 4 historically delayed projects in the portfolio.

High

Supplier delivery timeline slipping

Key supplier acknowledged a 10-day delay on structural components. Downstream milestones not yet adjusted.

Watch

Resource allocation conflict with Production Line B

Two senior engineers allocated to both the expansion and a parallel production ramp-up in weeks 12–16.

From silent overrun to proactive correction.

“We would have found out at the quarterly review — 4 weeks too late. Praeveo gave us the signal when we could still act.”
