LEAN, BIM, and Measurably Improving Facilities Life-Cycle Management

Job Order Contracting

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is the efficient management of the life-cycle of the built environment supported by digital technology. It’s important to not that “3D” or “3D visualization” is not include in this core definition of BIM.

Asset Life-cycle Model, Asset Information Model, and Why BIM Won’t Work

Building Information Management

At the end of there day BIM represents nothing new relative to the efficient life-cycle management of the built environment. The primary issue is that many facility management and AEC professionals confused 3D visualization with asset life-cycle management. It’s not even the most important tool.

LOD – Level of Development – BIM – Life-cycle

Building Information Management

Level of development (LOD) relative to the life-cycle management of the built environment (BIM) should have a solid framework relative to ONTOLOGY. While the definition of “life-cycle” has many permutations, and is likely to undergo ongoing improvement, the relationship to LOD needs to be developed in parallel.

Collaborative Construction Contracts Drive BIM, not Technology

Job Order Contracting

Collaborative Construction Contracts Drive BIM, not Technology. BIM, the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technologies, holds promise, yet remains elusive to many. BIM is not 3D visualization, nor a single vendor’s software product. Figure 1 LEAN [1] Asset Life-cycle Management.

BIM, Big Data, and Efficient Life-cycle Management of the Built Environment

Building Information Management

Efficient life-cycle management of the built environment comes down to analyzing large data sets— big data—from several knowledge domains. 3D visualization software products currently promoted as BIM (Building Information Modeling) are not solutions for this task. Big Data for BIM / Efficient Facility Life-cycle Management.

Big Data, BIM, Cloud Computing, and Efficient Life-cycle Management of the Built Environment

Building Information Management

Big data” — the ability to acquire, process and sort vast quantities of information for timely decision support is critical to the efficient life-cycle management of the built environment. Using Big Data for life-cycle facility management is NOT just about technology. . - Eric Schmidt, Chairman of Google.

BIM – Building Information Management, PLM – Product Life Cycle Management, TCO – Total Cost of Ownership, Life-cycle Management of the Built Environment

Building Information Management

Building Information Modeling is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. In the manufacturing world, PLM, product lifecycle management (PLM) is the process of managing the entire life-cycle of a product from its conception, through design and manufacture, to service and disposal.
