RSM Tool: Fleet Scheduling Optimization Pilot Fact Sheet

<div>The Regional Sediment Management (RSM) Economic Value and Dredge Fleet Scheduing Optimization Pilot (OP) was developed as a pilot study with the South Atlantic Divison (SAD) to quantify the economic value of applying RSM principles and practices across multiple projects and business lines (Navigation and Flood Risk Management) as well as identify additional efficiencies that can be gained by evaluating the dredge plants assigned to navigation projects and the planned schedule over the course of the dredging season. The result is an actionable and optimized RSM strategy that will most efficiently execute the Navigation (NAV) and Flood Risk Management (FRM) program budgets which maximizes the amount of dredging while also increasing the amount of RSM opportunities implemented to create value for the nation. The OP provides placement options and associated project costs for NAV and FRM for projects throughout SAD, providing decision-makers with the information they need to manage and</div><div>execute RSM projects.</div>
