Aurora overview

What is Aurora?

Using scheduling knowledge and rules derived from artificial intelligence, Aurora was able to outperform its clients’ own self-developed software, as well as its closest competitors by reducing turnaround time by up to 30%. Rather than rely on basic scheduling parameters to determine tasks, Aurora sets attributes per task, groups of tasks, as well as (sets of) resources, and constraints. By doing so at specific intervals to ensure the ideal task will follow the most efficient sequence based on optimal time and resource allocations, it can plan for situations where resources are unavailable when the task is scheduled.

Aurora uniquely considers both resource requirements and temporal scheduling together, benefitting domains where resource requirements have range, further allowing Aurora to surpass finite capacity scheduling software. Aurora is built to automatically identify and highlight conflicts in a schedule. This data is presented clearly via various interactive displays, allowing the user to enter and edit the resource allocation, and see its data shown, i.e., a histogram chart.

Key benefits of using Aurora

Benefits:

- Project Portfolio Management (PPM) / Enterprise Resource Planning Optimization (ERPO):

- Shortens projects by allocating resources more efficiently. I.e., improved capacity planning, improved.

-Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS), improved Project Management (PM), improved automatic resource scheduling.

- Enables more robust modeling of scheduling problems, so it can schedule projects automatically that other tools cannot even model.

- Interfaces with Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, Siemens TeamCenter, Artemis, PSS, Open Plan, PS8, Oracle and other enterprise applications; to import, analyze, and export schedules.

- Provides intelligent conflict resolution.

- Provides explanations on why each activity/task was scheduled where it was, adding transparency.

- Disruptions to the original plan including interjections of new tasks during execution are handled optimally.

Unique Capabilities:

- Multiple-pass intelligent resource-constrained scheduling – This intelligent resource leveling tool results in shorter project schedules than the single-pass resource leveling option provided in Microsoft Project and Primavera P6.

- Mixed-mode scheduling – Aurora provides both forward and backward scheduling, available on a task-by-task basis.

- Schedule Rationale – For each task, Aurora provides the rationale on why it was scheduled where it was scheduled, so it is easy to determine what changes could be made for a task to occur earlier.

- Interface with other scheduling tools – Since the benefits of scheduling are only a mouse click away, Aurora is designed to interface with Microsoft Project, Primavera P6, Artemis, TeamCenter and others. You do not have to change the way you work to receive the benefits of Aurora’s scheduling engine.

- 64-bit version can handle projects into the hundreds of thousands of tasks.

- Ability to run how the client wants to run. Aurora can be run as a web-based application or a standalone application under Windows, Mac and Linux.

- Supports more types of constraints:

* Physical space constraints
* Ergonomic constraints,
* Shift-based constraints,
* Resource Links — graphically depict when resource availability is driving the start date.

- Supports complex human classifications:

* E.g., occupation plus various skills and or certifications, and Aurora optimizes taking these into consideration.
