Abstract The Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Facility Management, (AEC/FM) in Egypt has been facing a high level of competition, to stay competitive in today’s market place the Egyptian AE/C industry must develop and deploy Information Technology solutions for planning, designing, constructing, and managing facilities. To perform these tasks in the most effective and productive way, identifying the role that information technology can play and developing solutions that implement these technologies are the major challenge. In order to achieve these goals, a study was made on di fferent construction industry in Egypt, to asset the bottlenecks in existing quality systems, the different use of resources, and the utilization of time and cost. A questionnaire was designed and used in the assessment, the results reveled that applying business process reengineering is the best way for improving existing Business processes to adapt the new proposed Framework model. A new framework process models for automated system contributed to ISO 10303-225 was designed to be used by construction industry. The designed process model presented for the four project phases allow project participants to share and exchange project information effectively. An object management system is needed at the design and construction phases, with the use of software tolls it is easy to graphically create process maps, identify the resources for respective tasks, and specifies business policies and exceptions. Assuming different scenarios for the same process in order to evaluate and give quick and efficient evaluation of the process profiles. All information used was taken from a real project at the National Research Center, the time schedule, the project resources, and the project cash flow. Reengineering the organization to adapt this new framework automated system needs to reduce the number of management levels, and eliminate boundaries between functions. by changing the organizational structure. The Horizontal process oriented organization with the use of team work, enable construction industry to adapt the new automated system. The goal of workflow suite, and the web based solutions for workflow automation enable construction industry to rapidly develop sophisticated workflow applications on the web, and relies only on the internet as the primary transport, the use of the new automated system will result in decreasing the amount of paper work and documentation procedures to a way that facilitate the business process, and leads the way for the construction industry to achieve performance excellence. |
