In this video, we show how the ANN is trained using the developed tool. The predictive tool allows anticipating when components will be delivered late to a capital project job site. Identifying such delivery issues in advance allows the right actions to be taken in a timely manner. Insight will help apply resources to accelerate delivery or provide sufficient time to re-plan activities to accommodate the situation.
