Optira
Optimize your project plan

OPTIRA – WHAT IS IT?

• OPTIRA is an add-on to your project planning tools and can be perfectly integrated into your system landscape.

• OPTIRA optimizes your complex planning projects (such as dismantling projects) with the help of mathematical methods in regard to time and total costs.

• OPTIRA: An innovation that brings science and practice together. The development is being carried out in close cooperation with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

INITIAL SITUATION / CHALLENGE

• Challenging task: Creation of a project plan taking into account all restrictions regarding time and resource capacities.

• Even with a few hundred processes, it is practically impossible to ensure optimal use of resources and time without tool support.

• Many project planning tools only resolve planning conflicts by moving individual activities into the future.

• Optimization of the planning is done by personal considerations without computer-aided optimization.

• After the current project progress has been recorded, planning conflicts can arise again:

• Project controllers have to eliminate planning conflicts manually which is complicated and costly.
• Shifts on the critical path extend the project duration and increase overall costs.

That means: time, money and resources are not being used optimally

SOLUTION: PROJECT PLANNING AND CONTROL WITH OPTIRA

• Computer-aided optimization of the project plan

• Regular optimization after recording the current project progress

• Automated resolution of planning conflicts.
• The project controllers are relieved of time.

• Standard adapters to MS Project, Primavera and Excel enable optimization “out of the box”. The project management tools used up to now can still be used.

• Individual use of the project planning tools is mapped using an individual adapter.

• Simulation of several project scenarios: By changing plan values
  (e.g. resource availability), different scenarios can be calculated and compared.
