About Capital Projects
Capital projects involve the administrative control of large-scale investment projects (CAPEX) with allocated funds and multi-year budgets. In contrast, regular projects focus on small to medium initiatives that fit within annual budgets (OPEX).
Project management in Planon supports:
• Creating a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) with project activities and milestones
• Linking work orders, contracts, and reservations to WBS activities
• Full integration with Work Orders and Contracts
You can monitor capital projects across key areas:
• Finance: Track related funds, budgets, and costs
• Planning: Use graphical Gantt charts and analyze critical paths
• Scope: Manage activities and handle change requests
• Quality: Monitor risks, issues, and corrective measures
You can start a capital project either in the Budgets TSI or in the Projects TSI. Depending on the customer requirements, there are two solutions, a light-weight model and an advanced model.
