Op 13 november is Saban Özsariyildiz gepromoveerd
aan de Technische Universiteit Delft op het onderwerp:
Inception support for large scale
construction projects
Inception Support: Despite the general
agreement about the importance of very early project decisions
(between 60% to 80% of the total cost of the projects are
determined during this stage), very early projects stages
is not yet adequately supported by information communication
and knowledge technologies (ICKT).
This PhD. research focuses on the problems
contributing to the lack of ICKT applications and tries
to improve inception and very project phases and looking
alternative solutions like QFD. Basically, this research
tries to formulate client requirements in an efficient way
and turn it to alternative feasible solutions by the means
of time, cost and quality.
ICKT support: We adapted new approaches
such as integration of the newest product data technology
(such as dynamic information models both compile-time and
run-time) and some AI technologies for instance knowledge
base systems, intelligent agent technologies, fuzzy logic
etc. The concept is based on supporting multiple actors
views and aspects. It provides mechanisms for integration
and communication of actors via neutral information models
(view independent or public view models). In addition to
that the approach helps to capture ideas, processes, and
products through its life cycle.
The results: The benefits of this research
are gaining more control over the project information (ideas,
process and product) improving the quality of total project.
A better communication can be provided for different views.
This will reduce the time, cost and errors during the different
stages of the projects.
Currently, I have not only developed the concept,
but also implemented the prototype that is used
by some CONCUR project industrial partners. Two cases being
applied firstly to early stages of a power plant tendering
which resulted %20 cost reduction %30 time reduction and
able to produce 3 alternatives. The second one is applied
to building and construction projects. The results we less
convenient %10 cost cut and %20 reduction of time.
