The Challenge
During the construction of the hyperscale data center facility, a series of on-site delays threatened to push the project completion date back by over 30 days.
The delays were primarily due to unforeseen supply chain issues that disrupted the original schedule, putting significant revenue at risk. A month-long delay could result in approximately $30+ million in lost revenue, underscoring the urgency of finding a solution.
The Solution
The project team used ALICE to explore various recovery scenarios. Within hours, ALICE generated a solution that involved the optimal application of overtime for critical crews over a limited period.
This approach allowed the team to recover the original project completion date without incurring the excessive costs typically associated with adding more crews. By optimizing the use of existing resources, ALICE enabled the customer to avoid the projected delay and protect their revenue stream.
The Results
Project Delay Avoided: The delay was successfully mitigated, preserving $32 million in potential lost revenue.
The recovery strategy minimized additional costs by leveraging optimal crew deployment rather than simply adding more crews—something the team would have likely done without ALICE's insights.
