“…Paper [11] also mentions an application of UML. The modelling of the OPDT (on-site project document) system with UML for construction processes is recommended because the various aspects of the construction information system can be precisely visualized, specified and documented.…”

The process description languages are used in the business may be useful in the optimization of logistics processes too. The process description languages would be the obvious solution for process control, to handle the main sources of faults and to give a correct list of what to do during the logistics process. Related to this, firstly, the paper presents the main features of the frequent process description languages. The following section describes the currently most used process modelling languages, in the areas of production and construction logistics. In addition, the paper gives some examples of logistics simulation, as another very important field of logistics system modelling. The main edification of the paper, the logistics simulation supported by process description languages. The paper gives a comparison of a Petri net formal representation and a Simul8 model, through a construction logistics model, as the major contribution of the research.

“…Sometimes, the IDEF0 method is in association with other process description methods. Research [11] uses IDEF0 and UML to develop the electronic document management of construction processes. IDEF0 is responsible for overall process description: activities and information flow between the activities.…”

“…Efficient use of the repository requires a shared language and terminology to ensure that the material is correctly archived for future retrieval and use. This requires the introduction and understanding of semantic resources, knowledge taxonomies, and a coordinated classification system [24]. In addition to this, the organisation should put systems in place to build the knowledge stock within the organisation.…”

This paper examines mechanisms to use lessons learned on individual projects within an organisation. A Delphi study highlighted the organisation's responsibility for incorporating knowledge from projects into a project management methodology. Knowledge from a project should be transferred through a centralised knowledge management function that should evaluate codified knowledge within the context in which it was generated, determine how the knowledge should be used, and maintain the explicit knowledge database and the knowledge flow process. Based on a literature review, structured interviews, archived data, and a Delphi survey, a framework for transferring knowledge to the organisation is proposed. The framework enables the organisation to motivate and guide knowledge transfer within a methodology that indicates where, when, and how knowledge transfer and use should take place. OPSOMMINGMeganismes om lesse wat op projekte geleer is in 'n organisasie te gebruik, is ondersoek. 'n Delphi studie het die verantwoordelikheid van die organisasie t.o.v. die inkorporering van kennis in 'n projekbestuur-metodologie uitgelig. Kennis vanuit 'n projek behoort via 'n sentrale kennisbestuur-funksie oorgedra te word. Hierdie funksie moet gekodifiseerde kennis evalueer in die konteks waarin dit ontwikkel is, bepaal hoe die kennis gebruik behoort te word, en die databasis asook die kennis vloeiproses instand hou. Op grond van die literatuur, gestruktureerde onderhoude, geargiveerde data en 'n Delphi opname, word 'n raamwerk vir die oordrag van kennis na die organisasie voorgestel. Die raamwerk stel die organisasie in staat om die oordrag van kennis te motiveer en te lei in 'n metodologie wat aandui waar, wanneer en hoe kennisoordrag en benutting behoort plaas te vind.

“…Increasingly, the need is felt to achieve early integration of disciplines and parties. The Architecture, Engineering, Construction (AEC) industry became a knowledge intensive industry, which has to create sustained organizational and societal values [Rezgui et a;. However, many projects were not able to realise their required value due to managerial problems in the design phase [e.g.…”

In connection with the Integral design research project for professional in the Dutch building industry, an educational project was developed, the multidisciplinary master project Integral Design. The concept of the integral design workshop for professionals was implemented within the start-up workshop of our masters' project. The frame work of the approach will be described as well as the positive effect on the collaboration between the design team members as result of the morphological approach of the Integral Design method. During the start-up workshop professionals participated in the student's design teams and this specific intervention within the design process has been investigated.
