Case Study: Cornell University streamlines facilities scheduling with Prometheus Planning & Scheduling

Cornell University cuts scheduling time by 80–90% with Prometheus Group

Cornell University's facilities management team faced challenges due to a decentralized maintenance scheduling process. Their 14 campus partners used disparate tools like spreadsheets and handwritten notes, which led to inconsistent workflows, difficult labor sharing, and excessive time spent scheduling. To address this, they worked with the Prometheus Group and implemented its Planning & Scheduling for IBM Maximo solution.

The Prometheus Group solution provided a data-driven scheduler that unified processes across campus zones, integrated with vCalendar for centralized availability, and used heat maps for clear workload insights. This implementation resulted in an 80-90% reduction in time required to create schedules, a 78% reduction in job completion time, and a 300% increase in budget efficiency, enabling more projects to be completed in-house.
