acumen fuse 360: goal-based acceleration datasheet

Building on the analytics engine in Fuse, Fuse 360 automates scenario generation and decision support making it the fastest and easiest means

of project optimization. As both a planning and execution tool, Fuse 360 can be used to align plans with target dates and project stakeholder

expectations and as a means of getting a delayed project back on track.

Acce lera t ion

Achieve faster, cheaper, more aligned schedules through Fuse 360

automated acceleration. Unlike traditional “network crash” techniques,

Fuse 360 provides pinpointed focus, intelligent optimization and selects

the most efficient means of achieving acceleration goals.

Goal -Based

With Fuse 360, you set the acceleration goals. Find scenarios that

accelerate the schedule by three months, decrease remaining duration

by 20%, or even let Fuse 360 find the best finish date possible.

I n te l l igence

Only you know where acceleration is physically possible. Fuse 360

captures this insight through criteria, defined by you, directing where

to focus acceleration efforts. This means targeting a certain WBS,

location, resource, or even a specific activity for acceleration.

Recovery

Fuse 360 can generate scenario options from any point in the project

whether it is the planning phase or after costly delays. Identify the

fastest and most efficient means of recovering project delays.

Project Quality Optimization

Use the Fuse schedule cleanser to remove

redundancies and constraints, creating a

clean version of the schedule.

Acceleration Script

Define the simulation script, including where

to focus acceleration efforts and how to

prioritize.

Acceleration Goals

Set acceleration goals by percentage,

target date, or let Fuse 360 find the best

date possible.

Visualization

Fuse 360 automatically generates an

optimized and accelerated version of

your schedule. View the results in the

acceleration bar or the Fuse timeline view.

Compare Multiple Scenarios

Use the Fuse timeline view and Forensic Analyzer to compare

scenarios and identify the best acceleration option. Use

Fuse metrics to evaluate the quality and achievability of each

scenario.

Compression Efficiency Factor™

The Fuse 360 compression efficiency factor™ looks at how

much effort is required for acceleration allowing you to easily

identify which contractor, WBS, or phase of the schedule to

provides the highest return.

Run Multiple Simulations

Create acceleration scripts to try multiple acceleration options.

Try accelerating construction activities, changing calendars,

or reducing the remaining duration of a certain WBS, then

compare results.
