Data Sharing Effectiveness for Computer Integrated Construction |
Abstract |
Not long after the industry began to look for tools that would help productivity improvement, rigorous efforts to integrate different computer application systems in the construction industry have been occurred. Nevertheless, most of these research efforts seem to have focused on technical solutions without having identified the key business functions to integrate and the rationale behind the integration. In order to help with this problem, this paper proposes a methodology to effectively illustrate the complex interrelationship between construction business functions and data in terms of data sharing. A case-study was performed in order to validate the proposed methodology. Findings, lessons learned, and further implementations based on this study are briefly introduced as well. |
