Resource Leveling AI
AI optimization of resource allocation across construction schedule activities.
Definition
Resource Leveling AI optimizes the allocation of labor, equipment, and materials across project activities to eliminate resource conflicts and over-allocation. It balances resource demand with availability while minimizing project duration and maintaining schedule logic.
In Depth
Resource leveling adjusts activity schedules within their available float to prevent over-allocation of crews, equipment, and materials. AI optimizes this leveling across the entire project schedule and across multiple concurrent projects in a firm's portfolio.
The optimization balances two objectives: completing the project as quickly as possible (minimizing duration) and using resources as efficiently as possible (minimizing idle time and overtime). These objectives often conflict — the fastest schedule might require three concrete crews working simultaneously, while the most efficient resource plan might sequence the pours serially with a single crew. AI finds the schedule that best balances duration and resource efficiency for the project's specific constraints.
