CWICR Equipment Planner

Business Case

Problem Statement

Equipment is a major cost driver:

• What equipment is needed?
• For how long?
• Rent or buy?
• How to optimize utilization?

Solution

Equipment planning using CWICR equipment norms to calculate requirements, schedule usage, and analyze rental vs purchase decisions.

Business Value

• Accurate requirements - Based on validated norms
• Optimized utilization - Reduce idle time
• Cost analysis - Rent vs buy decisions
• Scheduling - Equipment availability planning

Quick Start

from datetime import datetime

# Load CWICR data
cwicr = pd.read_parquet("TR_workitems_costs_resources_DDC_CWICR.parquet")

# Initialize planner
planner = CWICREquipmentPlanner(cwicr, fuel_price=1.5)

# Define work items
items = [
    {'work_item_code': 'EXCV-001', 'quantity': 500, 'start_day': 0, 'duration_days': 10},
    {'work_item_code': 'CONC-002', 'quantity': 200, 'start_day': 10, 'duration_days': 15}
]

# Generate plan
plan = planner.generate_equipment_plan(items, "Building A")

print(f"Equipment Cost: ${plan.total_equipment_cost:,.2f}")
print(f"Operator Cost: ${plan.total_operator_cost:,.2f}")
print(f"Total: ${plan.total_cost:,.2f}")

Common Use Cases

1. Rent vs Buy Analysis

for equip in plan.equipment_items:
    analysis = planner.rent_vs_buy_analysis(equip, purchase_price=50000)
    print(f"{equip.description}: {analysis['recommendation']}")

2. Utilization Optimization

optimization = planner.optimize_utilization(plan.equipment_items)
for rec in optimization['recommendations']:
    print(rec)

3. Export Plan

planner.export_to_excel(plan, "equipment_plan.xlsx")
