The Challenge
A leading technology company, recognized as a global leader in cloud services, is constructing several hyperscale data centers to support its vast network infrastructure. The company was keen on exploring ways to accelerate the completion of multiple data center projects within its portfolio.
Their objective was to understand and explore how different crew combinations, overtime patterns, and working calendars could impact project timelines and costs, all while maintaining quality and efficiency.
The Solution
To meet this challenge, the project team turned to ALICE Technologies. They modeled various scenarios on the platform, adjusting factors such as crew configurations, allocations, overtime options, and work schedules. ALICE's advanced optimization capabilities enabled the team to quickly evaluate the time and cost impact of each adjustment, surfacing a solution that provided the optimal balance between crew costs and project delivery speed.
The Results
ALICE identified specific adjustments—such as reallocating crews, optimizing work sequences, and optimizing shift patterns—that would significantly accelerate project completion by more than 90 days across the portfolio, leading to faster time-to-market and reduced operational delays.
