Review an AI Project Plan
About this app
An AI produced the project plan for distribution centre DC Neckar: tidy but incomplete. Add missing work packages and milestones, fix dependencies and watch the critical path and project end jump live, with a 50-point score sheet.
With explain mode: an AI tutor walks you through the app, points out what matters in the scene and answers your questions.
Why a plausible plan need not be sound
A warehouse project follows an order grounded in the subject, based on the phases of VDI 5200: goals, as-is survey and data analysis, design volumes, structure, system variants, variant evaluation, detailed layout and specification, tender and award, implementation, commissioning and ramp-up. Fixing technology or layout before the data analysis means planning on guesses. A Gantt chart can look flawless and still not hold up.
What the app shows
An AI planned seven work packages strictly in sequence for the fictional distribution centre DC Neckar, ending in week 30. Insert missing packages from a pool: they slide into their proper place, and the plan recalculates forward and backward pass, critical path and float live. While the technology stays in front, the analysis ends in a dead end. Repaired, the plan ends in week 111, after about 25.5 months. All durations are disclosed assumptions.
What you can try
Judge each AI package as fine, misplaced or too short, answer short reasoning questions, set milestones and submit. The score sheet awards up to 50 points for packages found, milestones, reasoning, critical review of the AI and plausibility. The model solution shows step by step how the project end moves back.
Frequently asked questions
- In what order is a warehouse planned?
- After goal setting and the as-is survey come data analysis and design volumes, then structure, system variants and their evaluation. Only after the system decision come detailed layout and specification, followed by tender, award, implementation, commissioning and ramp-up.
- Why does data analysis come before selecting conveyors?
- Storage and conveyor technology are sized from the item range, pick frequency and volumes. Without ABC/XYZ analysis and design volumes with a design day, the choice is a guess.
- What is a design day?
- A high-load day in the design year, often a high percentile of daily load, used to size capacities. Designing for the average causes jams on every busier day.
- How long does a warehouse project take in the app?
- The AI plan ends in week 30. The complete model plan ends in week 111, about 25.5 months. The durations are assumptions for a medium-sized warehouse with conveyors.
