Optimization Presets
Take full control over the variables that ALICE Pro prioritizes to optimize your schedule. Choose between project completion date, minimizing number of crews, optimizing precedence logic over resource logic and more.
Reveal the best path forward, no matter your constraints or priorities
MORE CONTROL + FLEXIBILITY
Your schedule, your way
Every project has different business objectives and constraints to work with. With ALICE Pro, you’ll always generate the best solutions, whether you need to get to market as quickly as possible or complete a milestone by a certain date while minimizing access to certain crews which are constrained.
IINCREASED TRANSPARENCY
Fine tune schedule optimization
ALICE Pro helps you optimize your schedules against various variables over which you have complete control:
- Duration: Search for solutions with the shortest duration (compress end)
- Resource Usage: Search for solutions with the lowest peak resource requirement for all or specific crews/equipment
- Idle Time/Cost (Resource Allocation): Search for solutions with the least down time for all or specific crews/equipment

Compare scenarios in minutes
Model numerous potential scenarios and devise a construction plan that reduces uncertainty. It’s as if you could build your project virtually dozens of times before ever breaking ground.
Seeing is believing.
Frequently asked questions
-
By default, ALICE Pro optimizes the schedules it generates for duration, then optimizes for crew/equipment numbers. However, you can change the optimization engine’s prioritization by:
-
Duration: Search for solutions with the shortest duration (compress end) for the project
-
Optimize for Crew/Equipment Numbers (Resource Usage): Search for solutions with the lowest peak resource requirement for all or specific crews/equipment
-
Optimize for Specific Crew/Equipment
-
Idle Time/Cost (Resource Allocation): Search for solutions with the least down time for all or specific crews/equipment
-
Milestone Ends: Search for solutions with the shortest duration (compress end) for all or specific end milestones (ex. Search for solutions to set a Equipment X as soon as possible)
-
Scope: Search for solutions that compress the overall duration (push start and/or compress end) based on element property tags (ex. Reduce duration for elements tagged “Area 3”)
-
Precedence: Search for solutions that prioritize precedence logic (recipe & support logic) over resource logic (ALICE generated logic) to help control the flow of resources

-
Yes, you can use an existing simulation as a starting point for a completely new one, with different optimization priorities. This is the true power of optioneering at your fingertips.
"ALICE has enabled us to spend time on optimizing rather than data entry. By exploring millions of possible sequencing options ALICE is dramatically changing how we plan and execute our projects."
