House of Wisdom
ILLUSTRATIVE APPLICATION

Energy and transport

Long-horizon decisions taken under public scrutiny, on networks that must keep running.

01 · THE PROBLEM OR DECISION

Maintenance outages and timetable changes must balance demand, asset constraints, workforce availability and customer impact.

02 · WHO WOULD USE HOW

Network and timetable planners, maintenance engineers, operations managers and customer teams, working from demand forecasts, asset constraints and workforce information.

03 · HOW HOW COULD SUPPORT THE WORK

Plan service changes and investment priorities by combining demand forecasts, asset constraints, workforce knowledge and customer perspectives. Help planning, engineering and operations teams assess options, for example coordinating maintenance outages or timetable changes, and review their effects.

04 · OUTCOMES YOU COULD EVALUATE
  • Time to agree an outage or timetable plan
  • Visibility of constraints and trade-offs
  • Whether reviews show the intended effects
  • Reuse of learning across planning cycles

Illustrative application. Planning decisions remain with the operator’s accountable managers.
