prescribed for the fleet move. A plurality of features associated with the activity data are extracted. The extracted features are input into a machine learning model that is trained based on features of historical activity data of historical fleet moves. A probability of the fleet move having the prescribed move play failing to complete within a predetermined timeframe is received as as output from the machine learning model. In response to the probability being higher than a threshold, one or more recommendations configured to improve a likelihood of the fleet move being completed within the predetennined timeframe or reduce overtime, are generated.
