Public Initiative Networks (RIP) are public contracts aimed at deploying fiber in less densely populated areas of France.
Challenge
As part of the deployment of one of its RIPs, our client, specialized in Public Works and responsible for FTTH deployment, called upon our team to address several challenges:
- Meeting deployment objectives
- Having a work planning and resource management system
- Managing subcontracting
Methodology
Our experts worked on both the transport and distribution network and the collection network.
At the transport and distribution network level, the objective was to reorganize the design office responsible for the fiber design (HLD/LLD) to align with our client's contractual objectives. To achieve this, it was necessary to:
- Clarify roles and responsibilities within each of the three design offices involved
- Align resources with objectives (recruitment, internal reorganization)
A skills transfer was conducted to enable our client to autonomously manage their design office at the end of the mission.
For the second aspect, our experts managed the team responsible for the collection/backbone network to ensure the production pace of collection links was in line with objectives. This required defining and implementing reporting processes and tools.
Another challenge was to create conditions for good coordination between the teams responsible for the transport/distribution network and those responsible for the collection network to:
- Synchronize civil engineering works when necessary (cost and time savings)
- Synchronize the "lighting" of equipment to ensure a progressive and coherent deployment
Result
The FTTH expertise of our experts, along with best practices from other similar projects, were key assets in enabling quality deployment.
Thanks to our team's intervention, our client now has:
- A clarified and expected planning
- A rebalancing of workloads and objectives for each study resource
- Deployments in compliance with the objective
- Refined business processes
- Regular management of subcontracting
