Einen wesentlichen Wettbewerbsvorteil k{\"o}nnen kleine unternehmerische Einheiten durch h{\"o}here Flexibilit{\"a}t, schnelle Reaktion auf Kundenw{\"u}nsche oder aktuelle Situationen auf der Baustelle und Marktn{\"a}he erreichen. Dazu ist es n{\"o}tig, die Informations- und Kommunikationsstr{\"o}me durch Einsatz standardisierter und kosteng{\"u}nstiger Hard- und Software wie z.B. Handhelds zu unterst{\"u}tzen und insbesondere die existierenden Hindernisse im Informationsfluss zwischen Baustelle und B{\"u}ro zu beseitigen. Am Beispiel der Projekte >IuK - SystemBau< und >eSharing< wird eine Einf{\"u}hrungsstrategie f{\"u}r >Mobile Computing< in kleinen unternehmerischen Einheiten des Bauwesens (KMU) basierend auf einer umfangreichen Anforderungsanalyse vorgestellt.

This overview is based on the research conducted in relation to the design and construction of the Intelligent Workplace (IW), Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. With regard to the commercial software products in the field of construction management the following limitations can be identified: Although project planning, cost estimating and construction simulation are supported, tasks like bidding as well as site and material management have not received the same level of attention. Few project management software packages are integrated in a total design support software system. Little analysis or evaluation options are provided to support managerial decision making. Various research groups address the construction planning and scheduling, construction contracting, site layout generation as well as the integration of these three topics. Currently problems such as efficient material management and calculation of environmental and energy responsive site management are insufficiently addressed within the ongoing research projects. In the domain of building performance simulation and decision support one can notice that, the development and application of computational tools is industry driven. As a result the concerns addressed by the tools are mainly issues pertaining to the selection and sizing of systems and components rather than an integrated performance evaluation. Consequently, these programs are rarely used by building designers, especially in the early design stages, where the predictive capabilities of simulation tools could be of significant value. Although many research institutions address the necessity for the integration of performance simulation within the overall design support environments most of the practically available performance simulation tools still remain mono-dimensional and isolated.}, subject = {Bauausf{\"u}hrung}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KellerAntoniadisMenzel2004, author = {Keller, Martin and Antoniadis, George and Menzel, Karsten}, title = {Resource Management for the Construction Industry}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.167}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-1679}, year = {2004}, abstract = {The management of resources is an essential task in each construction company. Today, ERP systems and e-Business systems are available to assist construction companies to efficiently organise the allocation of their personnel and equipment within the company, but they cannot provide the company with the idle resources for every single task that has to be performed during a construction project. Therefore, companies should have an alternative solution to better exploit expensive resources and compensate their fixed costs, but also have them available at the right time for their own business activities. This paper outlines the approach taken by the EU funded project "e-Sharing" (IST-2001-33325) to support resource management between construction companies. It will describe requirements for the management of construction resources, its core features, and the integration approach. Therefore, we will outline the approach of an integrated resource type model supporting the management and classification of construction equipment, construction tasks and qualification profiles. The development is based on a cross-domain analysis and evaluation of existing models. ...}, subject = {Baubetrieb}, language = {en} }
