A large transport company managed an annual capital expenditure (capex) budget of $10 billion for new and maintenance projects across multiple subsidiaries, each of which had independent project and engineering organizations, with total staff exceeding 3,000 people.

AlixPartners was brought in to develop a plan to consolidate engineering and project management activities for new and major upgrade projects, establish standards and KPIs across all projects, transition to design-build contracting, and improve project engineering and execution processes.

We implemented the comprehensive business enablement plans, and the redesigned organization delivered a 25% reduction in headcount while accelerating processes for major and minor capital project execution.
