talk to usWater, heat, power and waste share one question: which assets to renew, which tours to drive, which crew takes which job. kint answers it within the budget and the rules, with the record for council and regulator.
The renewal budget for the year is set. Hundreds of pipe sections, cables and stations compete for it, each with its own age, failure history and impact on residents. Road works should be bundled with other utilities, and the crews are the same ones who answer emergencies. The list that comes out has to hold up in the council meeting.
The riskiest assets are not always the cheapest to renew. Ranking by age alone spends the budget in the wrong places.
Opening a road once for water, heat and power saves money and disruption. Planning each network on its own misses it.
The same teams do planned work and emergencies. A plan without a reserve fails at the first burst main.
Council and regulator ask why this section and not that one. The answer has to come with its data and rules.
Each decision comes back as a plan, the rule that binds it, and the gap to the best possible plan. A person releases it before it is used.
Which mains, cables and stations do we renew this year within the budget, ranked by failure risk and impact on residents?
A renewal programme by quarter, with the budget or crew limit that binds.
Works on the same street are bundled across water, heat and power where it saves cost and disruption.
Which vehicle empties which containers on which day, within time windows and vehicle limits?
Tours per vehicle and day with stop order, the binding constraint, and bound and gap.
Changes to collection days or new districts are re-solved across all tours, not patched one by one.
Which crew takes which job this week, so planned work gets done and emergency cover holds?
Assignments per crew with skills matched and a reserve for emergencies.
Working-time rules and on-call duties are hard constraints.
The people stay the same. They work with a plan that states its own quality and its own reasons.
| Dimension | Today | With kint |
|---|---|---|
| Renewal list | Ranked by age and experience | Selected within budget by risk and impact |
| Bundling | Agreed in meetings | Shared works across networks in the model |
| Crews | Planned per department | One plan with an emergency reserve kept |
| Record | Slides for the council | Data, model and release stored per plan |
Exports from your GIS, asset management or ERP are enough to start. kint's decision agent drafts the model from the planners' description. In the pilot, kint's forward deployed engineers (FDEs), who work directly with the customer's team, review it with the experts.
GIS layers, asset registers, failure history, tours and crew lists, as read-only exports.
Budget, risk criteria, bundling rules and working-time limits, stated by the asset and service teams. The agent writes them down for review.
The programme next to today's list, with the binding limit and bound and gap stated.
A person releases the plan. The record keeps data, model version and release for council and regulator.
