“…There are many methods to analyze the delays of construction processes. Researchers [29] pointed out that the Critical Path Method (CPM) is the most frequently used method to plan and control the construction execution process. The CPM method facilitates the analysis of delays in (1) supporting the computation of project duration, shortest path, and critical path [30] and (2) analyzing the delayed activities' impact on the duration [31].…”

Effective data interoperability and schedule analysis play a significant role in improving the management of prefabricated buildings. However, there is a lack of efficient strategies and comprehensive approaches for data interoperability and data-based automated schedule analysis. This paper intends to promote prefabricated buildings’ management by solving these two problems via developing an IFC-based framework consisting of three parts. Firstly, this framework proposed a mechanism to establish an IFC-based 4D construction management information model of prefabricated buildings. Furthermore, a non-relational database—graph database—is introduced to twin this model into a task-centered network to realize the interoperation of construction information among different participants. Finally, graph database-based strategies to update data, automatically analyze construction schedules and visualize the 4D construction management information model are described. The proposed framework is validated in a prefabricated engineering case. In this case, an IFC-based and graph database-based 4D construction management information model is established through IFC standard’s extension. The graph database-based analysis of the model automatically recognizes the engineering case’s critical path information, delay analysis information, and schedule network analysis information. It is illustrated that this framework can successfully establish a unified IFC-based information model of prefabricated buildings’ construction management to prompt effective data interoperability. In addition, the application of this IFC-based information model in graph database can automatically analyze the construction schedules to prevent possible delays in advance. In short, the significance of this paper is to innovatively propose an IFC-based and graph data-based information model to solve the difficulties of ineffective data interoperation and unautomated schedule analysis in prefabricated buildings’ construction management. This study can be the digital foundation of further IFC-based digital twin.

“…Process planning connects (in any manufacturing system) product design to manufacturing [121]. The construction process is a manufacturing process with several specific characteristics [122]. Therefore, the integration of process planning into CIDNZ might enhance the efficiency of the construction process, saving time and costs.…”

“…Construction process planning and control in CIDNZ might implement diverse activity, location, or objects-based methodologies, such as critical path method (CPM), earned value analysis (EVA), last planner system (LPS), line of balance (LOB), Flowline, location based management system (LBMS), and building information modelling (BIM) [122]. The choice of the project-specific and suitable methodology or their combination depends on the project planning, scheduling, and monitoring perspective of the project execution team.…”

System Approach in Complex Integral Design Methodology and Its Application in New Zealand

Many New Zealand houses are energy-inefficient, unhealthy, cold, mouldy, and damp. Therefore, a new approach to building design is imminent. This article proposes a framework for the transformation of housing that integrates construction planning and design, optimization, and control tools at strategic, tactical, and operational levels. The introduced Complex Integral Design New Zealand (CIDNZ) represents a comprehensive and balanced system-based design and delivery process that facilitates and accelerates cross-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary expertise and knowledge. CIDNZ delineates a new way of designing the process based on integral, complex, and systems thinking. The emerging novel understanding of sustainability, which guides the transformation process, might lead to a balance between individuals, groups, society, and existing ecosystems. CIDNZ comprises all stages in the life cycle of buildings and all significant factors in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry, particularly, people, processes, technology, and the environment. Therefore, the entire construction process that implements a system approach to buildings as a vital part of environmental systems, goes from the environment to humans and vice versa and offers unlimited possibilities. The consequent practical application of these principles might eliminate or reduce the design defects and lead accordingly to the reduction of costs involved in their rectification.

Based on the objectives set out for a Sawmill, a goal programming model was developed to simultaneously consider the production volumes goal, sales revenue goal, production cost goal, and machine utilization goal in order to develop its production plans for a horizon. The unwanted deviations from the goals served as the objective function to be optimized subject to the goals constraints, operational constraints, and non-negativity constraints. Three independent pre-emptive goal priority structures, GP1, GP2, and GP3, were considered with each prioritizing the objectives differently. The goal programming model was tested for its utility using data gathered from the mill to the three-goal priority structures. The results obtained indicated that, for GP1, the product volume goals for all products were achieved, and all but one, volume goals were achieved for both GP2 and GP3. The viability test showed that all priority structures used were profitable with GP1, GP2, and GP3 recording 1.099, 1.102, and 1.095 respectively. This indicates that the three priority structures considered are approximately profitable at the same level. The goal programming model for production planning offers the decision-maker a variety of options as to its application.
