EAM Constraint Optimizer uses EAM data to dispatch crews to work order activities in the field for optimized task assignment and efficient route planning.

Crews are dispatched based on the qualifications required to complete the work, the crew location, travel distanced to the site of the work order activity, crew availability, and the number of people required to complete the job.

First, a schedule request is initiated in EAM to the constraint optimizer which includes the work order activity and crew data from EAM. Next, the optimizer matches the best employee resources to the field activities, and then arranges the assignments in sequential order that is most effective given the constraints.

Finally, the best schedule is returned to the requestor in EAM, providing a sequentially ordered list of activity assignments for each resource. Additionally, the scheduler provides a list of activities that could not be scheduled due to the inability to satisfy or meet the day's constraints.

The constraint optimizer assigns qualified crews to work order activities while optimizing the assignment ordering to ensure priority activities come first and travel distance is minimal, within the crew's shift time frame. The best schedule solution is returned to EAM and assigned crews are input as dispatch labor records for the appropriate activities.
