Responsibilities
One of the major ones was through cost predictive analytics with Machine Learning
They took project level data and applied a machine learning model through adjustments and feature sets to produce the cost predictive outcomes
This led to all in cost per project through class 1/class 2 accuracy and they operationalized this in undergrounding and they will do this in other workstreams
Schedule and trying to forecast milestone dates around data accuracy, explore ML for predictive analytics with scheduling on projects
If they know estimating date is this, what is the dependency date
Extrapolate beyond that what would be their execution start date
Cost predictive modeling: Existing model they can adapt and use Scheduling Model: They have an initial model but will need to be tuned in the future, make enhancements and there could be opportunity to develop further
They will be the main person doing the R&D and be the one who helps with presentations to business
Articulate this information to high level key members (Directors and above)
You will need to cross train individuals and write up documents for others to work from in the future
Challenges: Their projects go multi-year, and they do not understand the potential total cost would be to PG&E cash flow requirements
They don’t have good clarity on how much a project will cost on cash flow requirements on multiyear projects
Goal is to get Class 1 / Class 2 in first year of a multiple year project
Insight into financials two years prior to when you would typically receive
Milestones are not up to date and they need to follow in sequence and lack of maintenance and if they can predict each milestone with accuracy they would be in a better place
