Leveraging Big Data

One of our most significant accomplishments at AP-Networks is our unrivaled database of Capital Projects, Shutdowns, Turnarounds and Outages. More important to us—and our clients—is how we use that data to drive superior performance. AP-Networks utilizes the latest machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies to further our clients’ understanding of their strategic position and provide tactical insights into their Capital Projects and STOs.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning implementations are tailored to our clients’ needs and leverage our well-established dataset. Our clients use AI-driven tools to provide rapid analysis of event work processes, schedules and risk registers to build institutional knowledge within the company and enable proactive risk management.

Data ingestion technology allows our systems to learn and interpret data from your organization’s documents, seamlessly providing accurate data for intelligent comparison and evaluation.

Work Process Monitoring & Evaluation

Event work processes set the stage for success by establishing a framework for planning and preparation. Specific work process practices and the ability of a team to adhere to established processes have a significant impact on readiness for execution. Our users can identify potentially impactful milestones to cost or schedule risk, and our artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies monitor those risks. Combined with risk modeling, this integration allows teams to stay apprised of the status of their work process, the risk profile associated with their current performance, and what to do to mitigate identified risks.

Schedule Risk Analysis

Cost overruns, schedule slip, or safety incidents can result from either accumulated minor preparation gaps, or major, previously undiscovered issues. A thorough evaluation of detailed planning documents is needed to understand the problem completely. Artificial intelligence and machine learning tools can help find trends in the type of work packs that have greater risks associated with them due to the type of work, demand in schedule, or resources assigned. By identifying high-risk areas, owner-operators can direct more attention during preparation and execution to improve the likelihood of event success.

Risk Register Monitoring

Developing a risk register with appropriately identified and assessed risks is critical to understanding potential obstacles and determining the best actions to mitigate those risks. Without a rigorous lessons learned process and well-established institutional knowledge, many risks go unnoticed and negatively impact preparation for and execution of the event. AP-Networks’ artificial intelligence and machine learning tools help clients identify common risks associated with similar events and suggest best practice mitigation actions to give teams the perspective to manage those risks. Further, an analysis of the risk register and mitigating actions can provide insights into the event-level risk profile, addressing cost, schedule, and safety performance metrics.
