Case Studies
Quantrix
For Higher Education
A core component of the planning solutions is the student population forecast, which is, in turn, a driver of future staff resource requirements and many other aspects of the operational and financial plan. The student forecast module uses a cohort-based model which tracks each student cohort through academic years and the successive years of their course of study.
Customer Testimonials
We have not found any significant issues with any of the models, which is a paradigm shift from our previous spreadsheet based process. I’m really ecstatic with how well it went.
The National University of Singapore has used Quantrix to develop an integrated long term resource planning model covering all key aspects of university revenue, expenditure, student enrolment and staffing levels.
The more I saw of Quantrix, the more I realized that this is what universities need users can model multiple dimensions of planning, and put them all together in a workable, usable model.
The student cohort model
Planning Models has partnered with BME Solutions to provide planning solutions for universities and higher education colleges, using the software product Quantrix Modeler. A core component of the planning solutions is the student population forecast, which is, in turn, a driver of future staff resource requirements and many other aspects of the operational and financial plan. The student forecast module uses a cohort-based model which tracks each student cohort through academic years and the successive years of their course of study.

The student population is the lifeblood of a university or college. Hence, the student cohort model provides one of the cornerstones of overall operational and financial planning, as indicated below.
Quantrix Modeler and student population forecasting
The challenge of forecasting student population in a university or college is ideally suited to Quantrix Modeler. The model required is typically highly multidimensional, as it needs to cater for multiple courses of study, subjects, academic years and semesters, course of study years, academic departments and faculties, and demographic segmentation of the student population. It is difficult to handle such multidimensionality with a spreadsheet model. Keeping a spreadsheet model in line with changes to such structures can be a big headache. Other planning packages can handle dimensionality but tend to be rather rigid in their approach and expensive to acquire and implement.
