Integration Technologies to Support Organisational Changes in the Construction Industry
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recent Egan report on the UK construction industry has concluded that “integrated construction process” holds the key to further improvement in efficiency and productivity. In the last decade or so, considerable R&D efforts have been devoted to the integration issues in numerous research initiatives. A range of technologies of different levels of maturity have emerged from these studies, including data and process modelling, data management, data exchange using STEP standards, integrated project database, object oriented implementation, concurrent engineering systems, etc. The paper seeks to explore how these integration technologies can be used to support organisational changes necessary if the performance improvement is to be achieved.

متن کاملDigitally enabling the construction virtual enterprise
The construction industry is highly fragmented, consisting of a large number of very small companies that come together as members of non-collocated teams to complete building projects, and who subsequently may never work together again. The industry still faces various challenges in terms of human and organisational issues. The Virtual Enterprise (VE), and other variations of the paradigm, rel...
