Abstract
Systems and methods of the invention relate to creating a schedule to assign one or more workers to a project on one or more dates based on project information and/or worker information. Resource data (e.g., workers, equipment, tools, among others) and project data (e.g., location, type, cost, client, lead time, parts needed, among others) can be evaluated by an aggregation component in which a manager component can create a schedule that includes at least one worker and an assignment to the project based on the evaluation of the resource data and/or the worker information.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- estimating an amount of time to complete a project that includes at least one of a build, a test, or a cut-over, wherein the project is associated with at least one of a client asset, a structure, a vehicle, a part, or a system;
- ascertaining an availability of one or more workers to participate on the project;
- and
- generating both a list of a crew that includes the one or more workers and a schedule for the one or more workers to participate on the project based at least in part on the estimated amount of time.
A system comprising:
- a first component configured to evaluate at least one of a project or a disparate project to ascertain a number of workers to assign, one or more parts for the project, and a completion date, wherein the disparate project is completed or on-going;
- and
- a second component configured to create a schedule for the project, wherein the schedule assigns one or more workers to the project for one or more dates based on the number of workers to assign and the completion date.
A system, comprising:
- means for identifying a project that includes at least one of a build, a test, or a cut-over, wherein the project is associated with at least one of a client asset, a structure, a vehicle, or a part;
- means for ascertaining an estimated amount of time to complete the project;
- means for evaluating one or more workers to ascertain an availability of each worker to participate on a completion of the project;
- and
- means for generating a list of a crew that includes the one or more workers and a schedule for each of the one or more workers to participate to complete the project based on the estimated amount of time.
