Background
Estimation work in event production is a highly specialized task involving collaboration with numerous vendors. It requires meeting widely varying requirements for each project, with the number of items in an estimate ranging from dozens to hundreds. Especially for companies like Odakyu Agency, which continuously handles large-scale and diverse projects, high-quality estimation and operation have been achieved through their extensive track record and on-site capabilities.
However, with the increasing sophistication and complexity of projects, there is room for improvement in the following areas:
- Streamlining the estimation creation process and shortening lead times
- Improving reproducibility through cross-sectional utilization of past project data
- Optimizing the management and comparison process of vendor estimates
- Enhancing decision-making across the organization through knowledge sharing and assetization
Against this backdrop, efforts to advance operations using data and AI are progressing.
Overview of the Pilot Project
In this pilot project, Dandori AI will be experimentally introduced into the actual operations of Odakyu Agency's Promotion Department, and verification will be conducted from the following perspectives:
- Reduction rate of estimation effort
- Estimation accuracy and business suitability
- Sophistication of decision-making through data utilization
The pilot period is expected to be approximately three months, during which functional improvements will be made through actual operations, and considerations for full-scale implementation will proceed.
