Chevron’s real-time work order scheduling optimization

Background: Chevron has large scale operations and complex process facilities (refineries and liquified natural gas production facilities). Scheduling work orders on these facilities with differing repair requirements, specialized technicians, and potentially hours of drive time between locations can be difficult.

​

Challenge: Build a work order tracking system that tracks (1) the work orders that are submitted and (2) the technicians that are completing them to optimize how technicians are assigned and work orders are completed. Knowing where technicians are, what they are certified/qualified to repair, how long they are planning to being there, other work orders in the same or nearby location, etc will be invaluable in being able to dynamically schedule and dispatch existing and new work orders to technicians at the beginning of the day and while onsite. Updating each technician with their schedule of work orders can be done through any means of mobile technology, SMS, call, mobile app, etc.

The detailed file contains details on the following:

​

Facility – number and location

​

Equipment – failure rates, time to fix, facility location and number

​

Workers – names, equipment certifications, shifts

​

Work Orders – 30 examples

While external libraries and services may be used to aid your app, we will only evaluate the components of the app created by your team.

Judging Guidelines

Criteria (1 0f 2)

• Technical Difficulty
• Solutions should address technically challenging problems while falling anywhere between being beautifully simple to implementing complex, cutting-edge technologies.

• Creativity
• Solutions should be original and either (1) define a new method for solving an unaddressed problem, or (2) present a new approach to a proven solution for a known problem. Solutions should demonstrate that intentional and appropriate design decisions have been made.

Criteria (2 of 2)

• Design and Polish
• We are looking for aesthetically and functionally pleasing projects with an intuitive and polished user experience.

• Practicality and Usefulness
• Projects will be evaluated based on their utility and applicability to a set of problems experienced by people in the real world. Emphasis is placed on ensuring solutions can be extrapolated meaningfully outside of the demonstrated use case.
