ALICE Helps AF Gruppen Reduce Project Duration by 18% and Costs by 30%

The Solution

The original schedule took 4 months to create in Touchplan and did not allow for complex simulations showing the interplay between materials and labor. With ALICE, AF Gruppen was able to verify that the original schedule was achievable -- and then push far beyond it. In just four days, the company used ALICE to create over 300 different possible schedules, seven of which were superior to the original plan.

The Results

The original Touchplan schedule required 500 days to complete. With ALICE, AF Gruppen identified a schedule that required just 396 days, an 18% reduction in project duration. Moreover, by using reusable formwork and identifying new ways to size and sequence crews, AF Gruppen used ALICE to reduce the overall cost of the project by 15%.
