Interactive Tool for Strategic Planning in a Railway Environment
摘要
An interactive tool for strategic planning is developed as part of the decision support and operational planning enhancements in the framework of the In2Smart2 project [1], working with Strukton Rail as the technology demonstrator. The tool objective is to assist workers which form part of the decision process of strategic planning to visualize and analyze information, providing insights and useful conclusions in an interactive and straightforward way. The tool scope is the optimization of resources and company availability analysis to obtain forecasted workload optimization, the reduction of idle times and mobilization of adequate volumes of extra (external) capacity among others. It can be applied to a long-time horizon and to a short one. The tool is implemented in Powe BI, elaborating methodologies and workflows for the implementation of the various interactive reports which support the decision-making and other managing and organizational tasks.
