In today’s fast-paced construction industry, project optimization is crucial for meeting deadlines, managing resources efficiently, and controlling costs. Frontline’s AI-powered suite offers an advanced solution, generating hundreds of alternative project designs to help teams find the best path forward.
When running an optimization, Frontline’s software generates many project designs, each represented by dots on a scatter plot. These dots symbolize designs that meet predefined project and/or resource constraints, while crosses indicate those that do not. This visual representation allows project managers to quickly identify viable options and delve into the details of each design with just a click.
One of the challenges in project management is balancing various project properties—like duration, resource distribution, and cost. Frontline's software tackles this by optimizing these features individually or in a balanced combination, visually differentiating the resulting trajectories with different colors. This allows users to easily compare the impact of varying optimization strategies on the overall project.
The software simplifies the complex task of resource optimization by focusing on combined labor resources for the entire project and each individual resource assigned to activities. This representation offers valuable insights into trends, such as whether resource usage is increasing or decreasing, which can guide decision-making.
A key benefit of using Frontline’s AI is its ability to find solutions that meet all the resource constraints, even when the original baseline design falls short. For example, in a demo project, the AI identified a design that not only satisfied all constraints but also reduced project duration by 20%, with only a slight increase in cost. This optimized design maintained a constant labor resource spread, while also adjusting a few tasks to improve overall efficiency.
In conclusion, Frontline’s AI-driven optimization tool is a powerful asset for construction project managers, enabling them to navigate the complexities of resource management and construction project scheduling with ease. Offering detailed insights and alternative designs, empowers teams to make informed decisions, ensuring projects are completed on time and within budget.
