| Summary: | 1%. The research also provided an indication of the relative activities. Many companies have implemented information and Construction (EPC) projects resulting from information and cost data. Potential process changes from increasing Carlo simulation was used as the means by which time and cost companies was collected to serve as a baseline condition. competitive advantage, improve productivity, better align cost by 7% and 8%, respectively. More conservative changes demonstrated that potential impacts from information detail and also loaded with associated field collected time efforts to quantify benefits have been function- or Fifteen specific design related activities were modeled in impact various level of information management may have on impacts at a project level. The results of the research impacts of the process changes were observed and measured. importance of measuring the impacts at a total project-level. levels of information management were investigated. Monte management can be quantified. The results also showed that management driven process changes in design related management impacts. may potentially improve total project activity time and labor much lower than those observed at the activity or task level, objectives, and improve product quality. The premise of this project elapsed time. Finally, the research illustrated the project level. A schematic representation of the EPC Process quantify time and cost impacts on Engineering, Procurement, research is that these benefits can be quantified in terms of Resimulation of the total process enabled quantification of showed impacts to the same parameters at approximately 3% and technologies expecting to save time and effort, gain technology-specific, and have provided sub-optimal results, That is, the magnitude of impacts at the project-level were The impacts found in the specific design activities were used the methodology presented allows quantification at a total This research develops and demonstrates a methodology to thus providing a more realistic approximation of information time and cost project performance measures. While previous to adjust the baseline condition of the EPC process. very aggressive levels of information management improvements was developed and field data from both owner and contractor |
