New Optimization Mode

Targeted Optimization
 
ALICE’s new optimization mode enables you to quickly identify where your schedule can be accelerated — and by how much.
 
The question most stakeholders ask is “Can we finish sooner?” Finding the answer takes days, sometimes weeks, and even then you’ve only evaluated a handful of scenarios. Targeted Optimization gives you the fastest path to an acceleration answer in minutes.

BUILT FOR CONSTRUCTION TEAMS

Automated Schedule Crashing

Every construction project team faces the same pressures: what can enable more speed, less disruption to the plan, and the need for data-backed answers. Targeted Optimization is purpose-built around those three demands.

WHAT IS TARGETED OPTIMIZATION
 
A new way to optimize

ALICE’s Targeted Optimization mode works with any construction schedule — regardless of where you are in your planning process. If you have a target date in mind and need to identify the best path to achieve it, Targeted Optimization is for you.

  • Define your acceleration goal
  • Run optimization scenario
  • Review results

FIND THE DRIVERS
 
Run entire-schedule or milestone- level simulations — your choice

ALICE lets you focus on identifying acceleration opportunities across the entire or for a single critical date. 

  • Full project acceleration: Simulate the entire schedule toward an earlier project completion date.
  • Specific milestone targeting: Select any milestone with a target date and ALICE filters to only the activities that can move that date.
  • Compare multiple scenarios: Run numerous simulations in parallel to understand the tradeoffs and make data-backed decisions.

OUTPUTS AND INSIGHTS
 
The result is a plan you can act on, not a probability

Every run returns a specific, actionable scenario with the exact activities to change, by how much, and why.

  • Deterministic output, not a range: Unlike Monte Carlo simulation, Targeted Optimization produces a specific, adoptable scenario. You get an actionable plan, not a distribution of possibilities.
  • Near-critical path visibility: See which paths are quietly driving your finish date before they surface as the critical path mid-execution.
  • A "no" is as useful as a "yes" If the goal isn't achievable, ALICE tells you clearly, giving you the evidence to push back on unrealistic targets.
