Technology Resource Metric Analysis for Facility Optimization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Facilities face challenges in determining when and to what extent to alter technology resources such as hardware, middleware, or software, as existing methods lack comprehensive assessment of determinative factors like level of performance and qualitative value, making it difficult to maximize resource value and predict resource volume changes.
Innovation Solution
A system that analyzes technology resources using a computing platform with databases to correlate performance, user results, and qualitative value data to determine a technology resource metric, triggering actions for adjustment and comparing metrics across facilities to predict resource volume changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If comprehensive assessment of multiple determinative factors is implemented, then accuracy of resource alteration determination is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the comprehensive assessment into three distinct database components: a first database storing performance level data, a second database storing qualitative value data, and a third database storing results data. This segmentation allows each database to handle specific types of determinative factors independently, reducing the complexity of managing all factors in a single system while maintaining comprehensive assessment accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an index as an intermediary element that compares determinative factors across multiple facilities. The index serves as a mediator that synthesizes data from multiple sources and provides a standardized comparison mechanism, reducing the complexity of direct multi-facility comparisons while improving the accuracy of resource alteration determinations through benchmarking.
2Reliability
If technology resource alteration is increased to maximize qualitative value, then resource value is improved, but resource volume control becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring performance levels, qualitative values, and results data across multiple facilities. The index provides feedback on how resource alterations affect overall system performance, enabling control operators to adjust resource volumes based on measured outcomes. This feedback loop ensures that qualitative value maximization does not lead to loss of volume control, as decisions are guided by empirical data from the feedback system.
3Device complexity
If determinative factors are not comprehensively assessed, then system simplicity is maintained, but resource alteration timing and degree cannot be accurately determined
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by establishing the multi-database framework and index comparison mechanism in advance. Performance data, qualitative values, and results are collected and stored before resource alteration decisions are needed. This preliminary data collection and system setup enables accurate timing and degree determination of resource alterations when needed, without requiring complex real-time analysis during critical decision moments.

AI summary
A system directed to analyzing technology resources in terms of many different factors to determine a need to alter/adjust the technology resource. Specifically, the present invention correlates data associated with (i) a level of performance of a technology resource relative to technology resource users, (ii) results of the technology resource relative to facility users, and (iii) a qualitative value associated with the technology resource to determine a technology resource metric that indicates a need to alter/adjust the technology resource and trigger one or more actions associated with altering/adjusting the technology resource. In specific embodiments, the technology resource metric of one facility is compared to one or a plurality of other facilities to determine a technology resource index for the technology resource.
