  • Patent number: 11295253
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for asset management are provided. The apparatus, for example, a processor to receive an input including intervention information for a first plurality of assets in a first circuit and for a second plurality of assets in a second circuit in a network; create a first plurality of bundling strategies for interventions to be performed for the first plurality of assets in the first circuit and create a second plurality of bundling strategies for interventions to be performed for the second plurality of assets in the second circuit; calculate for a created first plurality of bundling strategies and a created second plurality of bundling strategies at least one of an outage duration and cost associated with the interventions; and create a schedule for performing interventions for the first plurality of assets in the first circuit and the second plurality of assets in the second circuit.

  • Publication number: 20210319513
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for portfolio performance prediction of a portfolio of projects include receiving information regarding at least start date delays, duration increases and cost overruns for at least one project of the portfolio of projects, determining at least one cluster for the at least one project from the received information regarding at least the start date delays, duration increases and cost overruns for the at least one project of the portfolio of projects, creating a statistical representation for each of the clusters of the at least one project of the portfolio, and predicting a performance of the portfolio of projects using information regarding the statistical representation of the clusters of the at least one project of the portfolio of projects.

  • Publication number: 20210065138
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for asset management is provided. The apparatus, for example, includes an input/output device; and a processor programmed to: receive an input from a user via the input/output device, the input including information relating to assets maintained by the user; determine, based on the input, if a second asset that has not failed should be bundled with a first asset that has one of failed or has a high probability of failure such that both the first asset and the second asset are replaced together; and upon receiving a request from a user, output a result of the determination to the user via one of a display of the input/output device or remote electronic device in communication with the asset management apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9679253
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for managing and upgrading components in an infrastructure are provided. Records relating to components may be retrieved from a database and separated into subsets based on conditions of those components, the types of those components, deterioration models of those components, and/or other factors. Future condition values may be calculated for each subset, and likelihoods of failure of components may be determined for each subset based on those future condition values. The estimated condition values may be used in order to determine an optimal approach to maintaining, refurbishing, and/or replacing the components in the infrastructure. Computational efficiency is increased.

  • Publication number: 20160132819
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for filtering and displaying different scenarios are provided. Gantt charts illustrating multiple scenarios for performing projects are generated by a computer system. The projects shown in the Gantt charts are filtered by the computer system so that only projects which exhibit differences between the multiple scenarios are displayed. The computer system may display projects with differences that exceed a threshold. Gantt charts may be displayed by computer systems along with risk matrices describing the risks involved in one or more of the projects. Risk matrices plot risk values associated with projects. Computer systems may group projects with similar risk values into bins.

  • Publication number: 20160132804
    Abstract: Systems and methods for continuously planning maintenance of enterprise equipment are provided. Draft forecasts relating to projects in an infrastructure are generated by a computer system. A first user (U1) selects a draft forecast and submits it for approval. The computer system adds the submitted forecast to a submitted scenario. A second user (U2) approves or rejects the submitted forecast for inclusion in a master scenario. The second user may modify the submitted forecast. The system permits continuous planning of projects to maintain an enterprise infrastructure.
