BIM REPORT – LEAVERAGING BIM FOR ASSET MANAGEMENT

You have been appointed as a strategic analyst to the Highways England (HE) to advise them on how it could leverage Building Information Modelling (BIM) related technologies and processes to better manage its assets. The role of Highways England is to operate, maintain and modernise the UK’s road network. Your client is keen to achieve savings of up to 20% and efficiency gains in life cycle management of its asset data. They would like to explore the possibility of using BIM and associated IT infrastructure in their drive to achieve Lean-based efficiency improvements and six sigma based quality enhancements to support whole life asset management. You will need to consider not only the strategic technical and process issues of BIM, but also the performance and collaboration implications for the teams using them.

You are required to produce a 6000 word report that includes the following sections to address the issues that are raised. The report should link practical considerations specific to the organisation with ideas drawn from the module material and additional reading. It should be presented in the form of a report suitable for submission at board level of Highways England and include an executive summary and detailed references linking the practical material to theoretical ideas and models. Sections 1 to 3 should be no longer than 3000 words.

Section 2: Best Practice Review

Review industry best practice and case studies in use of BIM for Infrastructure Asset management. Benchmark HE existing processes with industry best practice. Discuss role BIM can play in integration of the workflows and business processes. Your focus should be on “I” (i.e. Information) in the BIM, and discuss how processes should be designed to ensure that information remains accessible to the right person at the time and cost. How to quantify and document benefits realised through life cycle cost savings.

Section 3: Recommendations

Make SMART recommendations on how your client should leverage BIM to enhance its productivity and performance management processes. Your key recommendations must be supported by ideas drawn from the module material, developments in other industry sectors and additional reading. Recommendations should be presented in the form suitable for submission at board level, but with detailed references linking the practical recommendations to theoretical ideas and models.

Section 4: Team collaboration

Describe the structure and culture of the team that will facilitate the most effective and efficient use of BIM and related technologies by Highways England. Discuss the benefits for team performance of using BIM and related technologies for information management. Include examples from your reading to support your arguments.

Section 5: Successful organisational change

Organisational change involving the implementation of information communication technologies such as BIM can fail if insufficient attention is given to the changes to working practices and collaboration required by the people expected to use the new technologies. Provide a short set of recommendations that identify some of the factors that management will need to consider to enable the successful implementation of BIM, and discuss their importance. You should provide detailed references that link practical recommendations to theoretical ideas and models presented during this module and your wider reading about the subject.

Section 6: Collaborative relationship & managing disputes

Relationships impact every aspect of business operations. Collaboration may occur as individual one-to-one partnerships or it may involve multiple parties working together such as external alliance partners, suppliers, internal divisions and customers. An organization must therefore take a structured approach to partnering and be confident that the relationship will complement and enhance existing business activities. You should use your knowledge of collaborative relationship to discuss how Highway’s

England can resolve conflicts.
