Information modeling in the design of organizational and technological documentation

Abstract

Organizational-and-technological design is considered to be a significant section of structural design in terms of its content and complexity. The processes of formating and automating the organizational and technological documentation in construction have their own specific features. In recent years leading Western and to a lesser extent Russian engineering organizations have been switching from computerising the certain most labor-intensive types of works to computer-aided design (CAD), which covers the entire process of project creating. As a result, in the US the designer's capital-labour ratio has increased in 30 times over the last 20 years. The labor productivity ratio has increased in 2.5 times. In Russia this ratio has increased by 5% during the same period. As a result, the number of designers in Russia is about 1.3 times more than in the United States, but the volume of work performed is twice lower. Today there is an issue of training qualified specialists for the construction industry in Russia. The arising of new types of work requires workers, foremen and superintendents to know how most effectively to perform work or manage the construction process, but it is often impossible without properly prepared process map for a certain type of work. The process map (or method statement) is an integral part of organizational-and-technological documentation. It is necessary to modernize the process of method statement formation and create new approaches, following the trends of the construction industry. It can enable solving some issues of construction sector.
