Activity Planning

Engineer in red protective clothing and helmet inspecting industrial pipelines and valves at an LNG facility.

The challenge

Across industries, planning activities efficiently is critical to safe and profitable operations. From scheduling staff in hospitals to coordinating well interventions, routing vessels and helicopters, sequencing decommissioning campaigns, or planning major maintenance, leaders must balance resources, deadlines, and shifting priorities every day.

Why it's complex

Limited resources and strict rules

Scarce crews, equipment, and facilities must meet safety and operational constraints.

Constant change

Weather, market conditions, and last-minute requests can quickly upend plans.

Manual, siloed processes

Spreadsheets and daily meetings are slow and prone to bias, leaving trade-offs hidden.

How WhiteSpace helps

WhiteSpace brings AI-assisted clarity to activity planning. Our tools rapidly generate and compare hundreds of thousands of scheduling scenarios, making cost, risk, and resource trade-offs transparent and freeing planners to focus on alignment and execution.


This approach has cut planning cycles from days to minutes, improved resource utilisation by 20–30%, and reduced costly delays across sectors from offshore logistics to healthcare. The result is faster, fairer plans that adapt to uncertainty, keeping teams focused and operations on track.
