Development of the Application for the Information Support of Logistic Business Processes of the Construction Services on Buildings Insulation

Abstract

The subject of the research is the methods and technologies of information support of logistic business processes of buildings facades insulation. The goal of the paper is to provide the information support to the companies that provide services for the buildings facades insulation. The following problems were solved: analysis of functionality the sites of the companies providing insulation services; formation of business process diagrams; database development; web application development for business processes informational support for buildings facades insulation. To solve these problems, methods of system analysis, set theory, database and web applications development technologies were used. The following results were obtained. Sites of companies providing the facades insulation services were analyzed and identified as for their advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of developing web applications compared to sites are considered. The model of logistic business processes for facade insulation is formed, which consists of three stages: preparatory, main and final. The set-theoretical description of the business process model components is given, which allows to determine the main components of the insulation process logistic support and to apply the calculation formulas for the corresponding information support module. The information support architecture for insulation business processes is developed, which consists of a database, a calculation module and a web application interface. The database structure is developed, which contains information about the company, the contractors for insulation, the necessary materials in stock, order and customer parameters. The web application development allows automating the information processing for the organization of work and providing the user with the ability to quickly place an order. Conclusions: information support of insulation logistic business processes ensures their maintenance at all stages of work through the timely preparation of an individual services list and checking the availability of necessary materials. The main result of the web application is the ability to automatically calculate the warming area and the order cost, taking into account the availability or purchase of the necessary materials, and the formation of an agreement between the customer and the company-performer on the basis of the selected parameters of the insulation service.
