IFS is looking at building a comprehensive event-modelling suite, which allows clients to define one or more events and view the resulting workload as well as model the workforce they would utilize to address this workload. Events could include everything from earthquakes to wildfires; anything that affects a geographical area where an organization’s assets are deployed.
The overall requirement of this challenge can be reduced to:
Given a map of my service area, can I model an event of any kind and determine the best response strategy for it?
The expected outcome should be a fully optimized, comprehensive analysis of a given workforce scenario against an event, recommending a course of action of how best to be prepared to face it.
