“…Although the theory of BIM was initiated by Eastman in 1970 [9], [10], Malaysia only implemented BIM in 2007 [11]- [14]. It was indicated by Zakaria et al [15], has indicated that BIM give benefit on construction projects, contributing to the further application of BIM in Malaysia.…”

The Use of Supply Chain Management (Scm) to Facilitate Effective Building Information Modelling (Bim) Adoption

2020

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is essential for the progress of construction projects, and although it has been considered an optimal solution to improve the production, sharing, and management of building information within the construction team, disputes within the team persisted. Accordingly, this study goals to present the current progress of this research in the development of a validated framework. It was found in this article that disputes within the construction team were among the primary challenges in the BIM development in Malaysia public sector projects. In this case, the Supply Chain Management (SCM) tool will be used to manage these disputes. Therefore, this article attempts to determine the importance of adopting the tool and specify the factors of the disputes and strategies in developing the final research framework. To achieve these objectives, the Design and Development Research (DDR) approach will be applied. It is hoped that the framework would contribute to an improvement in the BIM practices, considering the potential of obtaining more advantages from the BIM application through the correct methods.

“…In literature, numerous research activities are dealing with BIM [21]- [23]. These research activities consider the entire lifecycle of a building from design [24], [25] over construction [26], [27] up to operation [28], [29] in a very comprehensive way. In addition to this holistic perspective of an entire lifecycle, a major part of studies analyses and describes the content of the individual lifecycle phases in more detail.…”

Integrated Factory Modelling: Using Bim to Disrupt the Interface Between Manufacturing and Construction in Factory Planning

The interface between construction and production is an area of research with rising importance given its increasing demand for efficiency gains in factory planning and construction planning processes. In fact, nowadays, it is usual for production and surrounding buildings to be planned separately as independent entities. According to the Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering of RWTH Aachen University, it is against this background that recent factory planning projects have reported cost increases and time delays due to non-transparent information between different planners. Building Information Modelling (BIM) addresses precisely this problem. However, BIM is barely used in projects for production planning of factories. This is critical since factory planning has to deal with more complex planning parameters (due to the technical building equipment) compared to private housing construction or public building construction, where BIM is already being applied increasingly. In order to close this gap, it is first of all important to create transparency within the individual information interfaces between production planning and building planning. This article addresses this issue and identifies major obstacles in interdisciplinary cooperation between building planners and production planners. For this purpose, an interdisciplinary and partially standardised study has been carried out using questionnaires and partly-open expert interviews. The results show scarce implementation in factory planning projects due to (1) missing maturity level specifications and (2) missing data management standards. Both theoretical and practical implications of this study as well as limitations and future directions for research are discussed.
