Moreover, the detailed reason includes type of hindrance, time of hindrance, reason of hindrance, and resolving party suggestion. Also, the infrastructure project management system 110 sends a report to a resolving party. Also, the report consists project execution delay details.
[0050] The infrastructure project management system 110 determines the line complexity index of a project site by dividing a route of the telecommunication infrastructure deployment project into a plurality of small sites. The route data is obtained by a map 604 of the project site. For each of the plurality of small sites, the line complexity index is determined by a line complexity index unit 608 (shown in FIG. 6). The line complexity index data is sent to a project execution schedule manipulator 610 (shown in FIG. 6) present in the infrastructure project management system (telecom infrastructure deployment scheduling system) 110. The project execution schedule manipulator 610 changes precedence of deploying infrastructure at a small site based on the line complexity index of the small site.
[0051] The project execution schedule manipulator 610 compares the line complexity index obtained in form of a value score for each of the plurality of small sites and based on the value score, changes the precedence of deploying infrastructure at the small site.
[0052] In an implementation, for dividing the project site into the plurality of small sites, a processor 506 (shown in FIGS. 5 and 6) uses the map 604 of the project site. The processor 506 then determines a length of a sample project site that is completed in a day when all the conditions of project execution are ideal (i.e. with no hindrances). The length is then taken as a reference to divide the project site into equal length small sites (the plurality of small sites). For each of the plurality of small sites, the line complexity index is determined daily to reschedule the execution precedence of each site daily and also to assign resources to the plurality of small sites based on a real time complexity of the project site.
[0053] The infrastructure project management system 110 creates the line complexity index before starting of the project. The line complexity index uses one or more parameters to determine the complexity in execution of a project in a span. Further, the infrastructure project management system 110 updates a line complexity index of the span based on the daily progress data and the detailed reason. In addition, the line complexity index is used to prioritize and schedule the telecommunication infrastructure deployment project of the plurality of geographical areas 108. In other words, the infrastructure project management system 110 helps in scheduling and prioritizing daily worksite of the project by creating the line complexity index (LCI) and updating the LCI from daily progress report. Further, the line complexity index is determined using one or more parameters from the daily progress data and the detailed reason. Furthermore, the one or more parameters include but may not be limited to total scope, soil strata, front availability, required permissions, allocated partner performance, material mobilization, and location accessibility. The location accessibility may be for remote or distressed area. The infrastructure project management system 110 classifies each of the plurality of geographical areas 108 in one or more classifications. In addition, the one or more classifications include but may not be limited to least complex area, most complex area, and moderately complex area.
[0054] The infrastructure project management system 110 records performance of resources such as non-human type resources (such as tool or machinery) or human resources, customer, partner, vendor and the plurality of hindrances using a daily progress form (or a form) by using an input unit 606 (shown in FIG.6). The input unit 606 is any input device such as microphone, camera, keyboard, touchpad or the like. The infrastructure project management system 110 initiates a trend analysis on the plurality of hindrances based on the daily progress data and the detailed reason. In addition, the trend analysis is used to further optimize and improve planned project progress of the telecommunication infrastructure deployment project. Further, the trend analysis is used to monitor performance of customer, partner and vendor. Furthermore, the trend analysis is used to select optimal type of tools and manpower for the telecommunication infrastructure deployment project to minimize the plurality of hindrances.
[0055] Further, the infrastructure project management system 110 uses the trend analysis to map resources to a span based on project execution competency. The resources that are mapped include but not limited to tools to be used in a span, manpower required for execution in a span and vendor who should be used for executing different stages of the project. The stages include but not limited to trenching, ducting and blowing. The complexity of infrastructure execution in a span obtained from complexity index is used along with trend analysis to map resources to a span. In an embodiment, the resources that show the best performance in trends analysis are mapped for executing most complex span. In another embodiment, the resources that show the best performance in trend analysis are mapped for executing least or moderately complex sites to decrease the time of deployment. In another embodiment, the resources that show moderate performance but less time of execution of a project in the trend analysis are mapped to least complex sites for faster deployment. The infrastructure project management system gives the project supervisor the option to schedule between execution of a complex site using the best resources and execution of plurality of less complex sites using the best resources or moderate resources.
[0056] Alternatively, the interactive computing system 100 divides the worksite of the project into a plurality of links and determines the line complexity index for each link of the plurality of links for scheduling and prioritizing a daily worksite of a project. Further, the interactive computing system 100 identifies one or more links out of the plurality of links whose complexity is low that is based on the line complexity index and schedules the one or more links of the plurality of links with low complexity to be executed first. The interactive computing system 100 maps the worksite of the project with a plurality of resources based on a recorded complexity handling capability of the plurality of resources. The line complexity index (LCI) of the worksite is determined daily.
[0057] In an example, a length of each link of the plurality of links is equal to a task that can be completed by a set of resources of the plurality of resources in a day. In an example, the plurality of resources is a non-human type resource, a human resource, a vendor, a customer, and a partner, wherein the non-human type resource includes machinery and tool and the human resource include number of manpower required.
[0058] Further, the infrastructure project management system 110 employs a strategy to reduce the plurality of hindrance to lower the LCI of the plurality of links. Also, the infrastructure project management system 110 maps special resources onto the daily worksite whose LCI is high in order to reduce the plurality of hindrances due to improper resource and thereby reduce time of execution.
[0059] The interactive computing environment 100 further includes the server 112 and the database 114. The infrastructure project management system 110 is associated with the server 112. In general, the server is a computer program or device that provides functionality for other programs or devices. The server 112 provides various functionalities, such as sharing data or resources among multiple users, or performing computation for the user. However, those skilled in the art would appreciate that the infrastructure project management system 110 is connected to more number of servers. Furthermore, it may be noted that the server 112 includes the database 114. However, those skilled in the art would appreciate that more number of the servers include more numbers of database.
