多維度工程專案資訊整合管理與視覺化之研究

Abstract

本研究以工程監管單位為切入點，透過進度管理、成本管理、品質管理及文件管理等四大需求面向來分析其工作現況，並實際了解及分析工程監管單位對於多維度工程專案資訊整合管理、專案管理工作及視覺化專案資訊展示等之需求。本研究根據這些需求及分析結果，提出了一套工程專案資訊整合管理架構，以求有效解決工程監管單位在工程專案中所遭遇之資訊介面及資料整合管理上的問題。此架構主要分為三個層次：一是底層的整合資料模型，工程專案管理資料可被完整地描述及儲存於此；二是中間層的資料存取介面，主要是處理核心模組與整合資料模型間的資料存取問題；三是最上層的核心模組，主要透過輸入、管理、分析、展示及輸出等五大核心模組，來封裝那些協助處理工程專案管理工作所需之程式功能。最後，本研究利用工程專案資訊整合管理架構為開發基礎，建構一視覺化專案管理系統，來實現與驗證本研究所提架構之概念及可行性，此視覺化專案管理系統具有五大特色，（1）透過整合資料模型，使用者可以保存完整的工程專案資料；（2）透過視覺化展現的工程資訊，工程監管單位可以迅速了解工程現況，並與專案成員進行溝通協調以達成共識；（3）多面向的工程資訊查詢，可以讓使用者透過不同需求面向快速查詢到所需資料及其所相關物件資料，以節省許多時間於專案管理及資料的查詢；（4）透過績效評估與統計分析功能來協助工程監管單位確實掌控工程狀況；（5）可將整合資料模型以不同檔案格式輸出，供資料交換與共享，因此增加此資料模型使用價值，並延伸系統之應用性。本研究期望，工程監管單位可以透過工程專案資訊整合管理架構所提供相關的程式套件，迅速建置符合需求之專案管理系統，並應用此系統來協助整合及管理工程專案資訊，有效率地執行工程專案管理之相關工作。

This research focuses on building up a framework to integrate and manage engineering project information for the project management team. Through analyzing four major demands, including the management of scheduling, costs, quality control and documentation, this research proposed a framework, named PIIM, to effectively solve the problems on integration of project information and system interface among different participating parties and engineering application systems. The framework can bring users a full view of the ongoing project, along with functions to integrate the information and display it in a multi-dimensional way. The PIIM framework is divided into three tiers: the first tier is the integrated data model, which can describe and store the entire information about the engineering projects; The second tier is the data access interface, which mainly deals with data access between the integrated data model and kernel module; The third tier is the kernel module, which provides core services of project management and encapsulates complicated project management functions into five easy-to-use modules: DataAdapter, DataManager, DataAnalyst, DataViewer and DataExporter. Besides, this research also develops a visual project management information system, named VisPMIS, to test the feasibility of the proposed PIIM framework. There are five major characteristics in VisPMIS: (1) By establishing the integrated data model, the engineering project information can be stored intact and complete; (2) By representing the project information visually, it helps the project manager to grasp more quickly on the present stage of the ongoing project, and communicate and coordinate accordingly with the other project participants more efficiently; (3) By supporting data query from a multi-data-view, users can find necessary and relevant data they need in a more direct and efficient way; (4) Through the performance evaluation and statistical analysis, it helps project management team to master the project progress accurately; (5) The information of the integrated data model can be exported in different file formats for data exchange and sharing, so that the value of the system is increased and the application of the integrated information is extended. Through the feasibility study, it has been demonstrated that the PIIM framework proposed in this research can not only provide a more efficient method to integrate and manage project information, but also save programming time for the project management team on developing a project management system from sketch.
