Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of project resource management technology, and in particular to a project resource management method and system based on resource histograms. Background Technology
[0002] Histograms are a common data visualization tool widely used in data analysis and project management. In engineering project management, resource allocation and scheduling are key factors for project success. Traditional project management tools mainly rely on tables or manual calculations to track and manage resource usage, which suffers from low efficiency and difficulty in visually displaying resource allocation. This is especially true in large projects with diverse resources, where managers struggle to maintain real-time control over overall resource usage.
[0003] In existing technologies, resource histograms are commonly used in construction organization plans (such as the P6 plan) to visualize the usage and allocation of resources in a project. However, their application in cost management software is relatively limited. Most cost management software focuses more on data accuracy and cost control, lacking real-time visualization of resource allocation. Managers often need to manually input data to understand whether resources meet project requirements, making it impossible to optimize resource allocation in a timely manner, which may lead to resource waste or construction delays. Summary of the Invention

[0014] When resources exceed demand, the corresponding part of the histogram is marked with a different color, prompting the user to reduce the allocated mechanical resources.
[0015] Optionally, in the above scheme, the resource allocation includes allocating construction machinery according to the order in which the quota resources occur, and giving priority to key quota resources.
[0016] Optionally, in the above scheme, the resource histogram generation module may also include a function for dynamically updating the histogram, so as to adjust the display content of the histogram in real time according to the actual construction progress and resource consumption.
[0017] Optionally, in the above scheme, the histogram includes a reference line to indicate the threshold of resource demand. When resource allocation is insufficient, the reference line is displayed in a warning color.
[0018] Secondly, a project resource management system based on a resource histogram, the system comprising:
[0019] The resource acquisition module is used to acquire the quota requirements for each type of resource in the project;
[0020] The resource allocation module is used to calculate the number of construction machines that can be allocated each day based on the construction machinery efficiency conversion table.
[0021] The histogram generation module is used to generate resource demand histograms and populate them with allocated construction machinery resources;
[0022] The prompt module is used to generate prompt messages when resources are not available, allowing users to adjust resource allocation.
[0023] Thirdly, a computer device includes a memory and a processor, the memory storing a computer program, the processor executing the computer program to perform the following steps:
[0024] Obtain the quota requirements for each type of resource in the project and generate a histogram of resource requirements;
[0025] Calculate the number of construction machines that can be allocated each day based on the construction machinery efficiency conversion table;
[0026] Fill the resource demand histogram with the calculated number of construction machinery, and distinguish between the satisfied and unsatisfied portions;
[0027] When resource requirements are not fully met, a prompt message is generated to remind the user to adjust resource allocation or add construction machinery.
[0028] In response to user instructions, display histograms and adjust resource allocation in real time to optimize resource utilization.

[0034] In response to user instructions, display histograms and adjust resource allocation in real time to optimize resource utilization.
[0035] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0036] This application, based on further analysis and research into existing technological problems, recognizes that current technology managers often need to manually input data to understand whether resources meet project requirements, making it impossible to optimize resource allocation in a timely manner. This can lead to resource waste or construction delays. This application addresses these issues by obtaining the quota requirements for each type of resource in the project and generating a histogram of resource requirements; calculating the number of construction machines that can be allocated daily based on a construction machinery efficiency conversion table; filling the resource requirements histogram with the calculated number of construction machines, distinguishing between satisfied and unsatisfied portions; generating prompts when resource requirements are not fully met, suggesting users adjust resource allocation or add construction machines; and responding to user instructions by displaying the histogram and adjusting resource allocation in real time to optimize resource utilization. Through a visualized, automated, and intelligent resource management process, project resource management becomes more efficient and accurate. Its significant technical effect lies in its ability to dynamically display resource demand and allocation in real time, reducing human intervention and calculation errors, and ensuring smooth project progress.
[0037] Resource histograms graphically display resource usage, enabling project managers to gain a more intuitive understanding of resource allocation and consumption, thus allowing for more accurate decision-making. Optimizing resource allocation: By analyzing resource histograms, bottlenecks and waste in resource use can be identified, leading to optimized resource allocation and improved resource utilization efficiency. Enhancing project management: As a crucial project management tool, resource histograms can improve the standardization and scientific approach to project management, thereby increasing its efficiency and quality.
[0038] By acquiring the quota requirements for each type of resource in the project, the system can obtain the distribution of project resource demand in real time and accurately. This provides project managers with a data foundation, helping them avoid over- or under-allocation of resources when formulating resource allocation plans. Traditional resource management methods often rely on manual statistics or spreadsheet tools, which are prone to omissions and errors when processing large amounts of complex data. This technology's automated resource acquisition process significantly reduces human error and greatly improves data processing efficiency. By calculating the number of construction machines that can be allocated daily based on a construction machinery efficiency conversion table and visually displaying this on a histogram, managers can clearly see the relationship between project progress and resource consumption. This feature solves the problems of opacity and untimely resource scheduling in traditional resource management. The actual resource requirements of a project change dynamically as the project progresses. Using this technology helps managers better respond to changes in project schedules and adjust resource allocation accordingly.
[0039] Furthermore, the color changes in the histogram provide an intuitive feedback mechanism. By distinguishing between met and unmet needs, managers can clearly understand the resource allocation situation at a glance. If the quota requirements for certain resources are not met, the system will automatically generate prompts, suggesting users adjust the allocation plan or add construction machinery to ensure maximum resource utilization. This intelligent prompting mechanism greatly improves the responsiveness of project management, enabling managers to make corresponding adjustments at the initial stage of problems and avoid project delays or increased costs due to resource shortages or surpluses.

[0040] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a project resource management method based on a resource histogram, provided as an embodiment of this application;
[0041] Figure 2 This is an internal structural diagram of a computer device in one embodiment. Detailed Implementation
[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0043] In the description of this application: unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more. The terms "first," "second," "third," etc., in this application are intended to distinguish the objects referred to and do not have any special meaning in terms of technical connotation (e.g., they should not be construed as an emphasis on importance or order). Expressions such as "comprising," "including," and "having" also mean "not limited to" (certain units, components, materials, steps, etc.).
[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a project resource management method based on resource histograms is provided, including the following steps:
[0045] Obtain the quota requirements for each type of resource in the project and generate a histogram of resource requirements;
[0046] Calculate the number of construction machines that can be allocated each day based on the construction machinery efficiency conversion table;
[0047] Fill the resource demand histogram with the calculated number of construction machinery, and distinguish between the satisfied and unsatisfied portions;
[0048] When resource requirements are not fully met, a prompt message is generated to remind the user to adjust resource allocation or add construction machinery.
[0049] In response to user instructions, display histograms and adjust resource allocation in real time to optimize resource utilization.
[0050] This embodiment provides a project resource management method based on resource histograms. The core technical effect of this method is that it can intuitively display the dynamic changes and actual allocation of resource requirements in a project in a graphical way, which significantly improves the efficiency of resource management and the accuracy of decision-making.
[0051] First, by acquiring the quota requirements for each type of resource in the project, the system can obtain the distribution of project resource needs in real time and accurately. This provides project managers with a data foundation, helping them avoid over- or under-allocation of resources when formulating resource allocation plans. Traditional resource management methods often rely on manual statistics or spreadsheet tools, which are prone to omissions and errors when processing large amounts of complex data. However, the automated resource acquisition steps of this technical solution can significantly reduce human error and greatly improve data processing efficiency.
[0052] Secondly, by calculating the daily available number of construction machines based on the construction machinery efficiency conversion table and visually displaying this on a histogram, managers can clearly see the relationship between project progress and resource consumption. This feature solves the problems of opacity and untimely resource allocation in traditional resource management. The actual resource needs of a project change dynamically as the project progresses; using this technical solution helps managers better respond to changes in project schedules and adjust resource allocation accordingly.
[0053] Furthermore, the color changes in the histogram provide an intuitive feedback mechanism. By distinguishing between met and unmet needs, managers can clearly understand the resource allocation situation at a glance. If the quota requirements for certain resources are not met, the system will automatically generate prompts, suggesting users adjust the allocation plan or add construction machinery to ensure maximum resource utilization. This intelligent prompting mechanism greatly improves the responsiveness of project management, enabling managers to make corresponding adjustments at the initial stage of problems and avoid project delays or increased costs due to resource shortages or surpluses.
[0054] In summary, the method described in this embodiment makes project resource management more efficient and accurate through a visualized, automated, and intelligent resource management process. Its significant technical advantage lies in its ability to dynamically display resource demand and allocation in real time, reducing human intervention and calculation errors, and ensuring smooth project progress.
[0055] In this embodiment, the horizontal axis of the histogram represents time, and the vertical axis represents the quantity of resources. Different colors are used to distinguish the status of resource allocation, including resources that have been satisfied and resources that have not been satisfied.
[0056] The introduction of a timeline in this embodiment allows managers to visually see the distribution of resources throughout the project lifecycle, which is crucial for project scheduling and planning. In complex engineering projects, resource demands are not uniformly distributed but dynamically change over time. Without a timeline, it is difficult for managers to assess peak and trough periods of resource demand. However, through the timeline design of this method, managers can clearly see when to increase resource input and when to reduce resources, providing an important reference for the smooth execution of the project.
[0057] In this embodiment, the prompt information indicates the unmet resource needs through color changes or warning boxes, and suggests that the user adjust the allocated mechanical resources or modify the construction plan.
[0058] This embodiment uses color changes or warning prompts to inform users of unmet resource needs and provides corresponding adjustment suggestions. This design significantly improves the system's intelligence and interactivity, helping users handle problems more efficiently and accurately during resource allocation.
[0059] In this embodiment, the resource allocation prioritizes the quota resources in the critical path, and according to the construction machinery efficiency conversion table, prioritizes the allocation of machinery and equipment with a conversion factor close to 1.
[0060] When resources exceed demand, the corresponding part of the histogram is marked with a different color, prompting the user to reduce the allocated mechanical resources.
[0061] In this embodiment, the resource allocation includes allocating construction machinery according to the order in which the quota resources occur, and giving priority to key quota resources.
[0062] In this embodiment, the resource histogram generation module also includes a function for dynamically updating the histogram, so as to adjust the displayed content of the histogram in real time according to the actual construction progress and resource consumption.
[0063] In this embodiment, the histogram includes a reference line used to indicate the threshold of resource demand. When resource allocation is insufficient, the reference line is displayed in a warning color.
[0064] In one embodiment, histograms are currently commonly used in construction organization plans, such as the resource histogram in the P6 plan, but are rarely used in cost estimation software.
[0065] This embodiment uses actual construction machinery to fill the budget machinery histogram, which visually demonstrates whether the budget machinery requirements are being met.
[0066] This embodiment includes a resource histogram function, which displays the mechanical resources allocated to each type of quota resource requirement. The histogram is displayed according to the quota requirement of the resource, and can be clicked to allocate. Mechanical resources are automatically allocated to quota resources according to the data in the mechanical resource efficiency conversion table, and the allocated histogram is displayed. According to certain rules, quota resources are sorted in the following order: priority is given to allocating resources to quota resources on the critical path, followed by allocating mechanical resources to other quota resources according to their occurrence time. When specifically allocating mechanical resources to a certain quota resource, resources with a conversion factor close to "1" should be selected first, followed by resources with the lowest variable cost.
[0067] After assigning specific equipment in the equipment configuration plan to the quota requirements of a certain type of resource, the software automatically generates a machinery histogram filled with various colors. If the equipment configuration plan does not meet the quota resource requirements, the generated histogram will not be fully filled, showing a blue area, and the software will prompt adjustments to the schedule or the addition of equipment. If the equipment configuration plan exceeds the quota resource requirements, this can also be seen from the chart, allowing for adjustments to the plan to reduce the number of equipment.
[0068] The budgeting system provides daily demand figures, which are visually represented using histograms.
[0069] The construction machinery establishes a conversion relationship with the budgeted machinery through a machinery efficiency conversion table, and then uses a histogram filling method to intuitively show whether the needs of the budgeted machinery are met.
[0070] Histograms, as a data visualization tool, are primarily used to display the distribution of data. They provide a clear visual representation of data concentration, dispersion, and potential outliers. Resource histograms offer numerous beneficial effects, particularly when compared to existing technologies, where their advantages are even more pronounced. The following are some specific examples of their effects:
[0071] Improve the accuracy and efficiency of data analysis:
[0072] Compared to traditional manual or simple statistical methods, resource histograms can more quickly present the distribution of data, enabling analysts to quickly identify key information in the data.
[0073] Histograms allow analysts to accurately determine daily resource usage.
[0074] Specifically, this embodiment includes: drawing a demand histogram based on the daily demand for budgeted machinery;
[0075] The number of construction machines that can be configured per day for each budgeted machine is obtained through calculation.
[0076] Fill the demand histogram with the daily number of construction machines;
[0077] Complete coverage indicates that the budgeted machinery needs are met; if it is not completely covered, it indicates that additional construction machinery is needed.
[0078] First, the purpose of resource histograms is to help project managers understand the allocation and use of project resources more intuitively. Through resource histograms, managers can clearly see the planned working time, actual working time, and resource availability for each time period, thereby enabling better planning and scheduling of project resources.
[0079] Specifically, the construction method of a resource histogram typically includes the following steps: First, determine the project's time period and time segmentation; then, calculate the planned working time of resources within each time segment based on the project's schedule and resource requirements; next, update the resource histogram based on the actual working situation to show the actual working time of resources; finally, analyze the resource utilization efficiency and existing problems by comparing the planned working time and the actual working time.
[0080] In terms of presentation, resource histograms typically use bar charts, with the time axis on the horizontal axis and the resource quantity on the vertical axis. Different colored bars are used to distinguish different resource types or working statuses. In addition, to facilitate comparison and analysis, auxiliary lines or labels can be added to the resource histogram, such as horizontal lines indicating resource availability time and warning lines for over-allocation.
[0081] The beneficial effects of the present invention include at least the following aspects:
[0082] Intuitiveness: Resource histograms graphically display resource usage, enabling project managers to understand resource allocation and consumption more intuitively and make more accurate decisions.
[0083] Optimize resource allocation: By analyzing resource histograms, bottlenecks and waste in resource use can be identified, thereby optimizing resource allocation and improving resource utilization efficiency.
[0084] Enhancing Project Management: Resource histograms, as an important tool in project management, can improve the standardization and scientific level of project management, and increase the efficiency and quality of project management.
[0085] In summary, the invention of the resource histogram aims to provide an intuitive, real-time, and effective project resource management tool, which can improve the level and effectiveness of project management.

[0087] The resource acquisition module is used to acquire the quota requirements for each type of resource in the project;

[0089] The histogram generation module is used to generate resource demand histograms and populate them with allocated construction machinery resources;
[0090] The prompt module is used to generate prompt messages when resources are not available, allowing users to adjust resource allocation.
[0091] The specific implementation details of each module can be found in the above description of the limitations of the project resource management method based on resource histograms, and will not be repeated here.
