P5T - Prognosis Five Tertial (4 month period)

P5T is a method or process to improve prognosis and budget work.
In conjunction to the method, Ekeblad Consulting AB  offers tool-support in the form of a process map, Excel and SQL solution as well as process templates.

The focus is on

•    Planning instead of calculating.
•     Market analysis rather than resource analysis.
•     Income evaluation rather than cost evaluation.

P5T builds on the idea to plan for five running tertials (4 month periods).

• Plan with a tertial base rather than month or quarter as all tertial is approximately equal. For examle they each include a period of holydays of main vacation.
• Make a prognosis at the end of each tertial and make the prognosis for the upcoming 5 tertial.
• Make one prognosis per business unit.
• A prognosis consists of a commercial evaluation, evaluation of recourses needed and cost estimate

P5T is used at Tyréns/ Temaplan.
