BIM and the Supply Chain:
More than a marriage of buzzwords?
Outline
• Definitions
– What do we mean by supply chain?
– What do we mean by BIM?
• SC challenges and opportunities
Mission accomplished?
– Tactical/operational
– Strategic
Where the action is!
– Design
The sweet spot?
• Implementation

Perspective
BIM
• 3D, object-oriented/parametric models
– Over the project lifecycle
– Model centric design, engineering, construction,
operations…
• 3D plus what???
• OR data that is integrated/interoperable?
Projects create buildings + lots of information

BIM & SC: Tactical/Operational
• Use BIM centric data for
– Materials management/tracking
– Off-site/site delivery coordination
– Planning & Coordination
– Quality/specifications/inspections
Close link to
Mobile tools
• Basic 3D/4D useful; richer BIM models can
support further applications/analysis.

Strategic SC Planning
• Context
– Long lead times ETO items
– Shipping constraints
– Price escalation
• Need to plan for SC capabilities very early
– Procure before design!
– SC constraints affect design
Role for BIM?
• Early SC planning data:
– Market constraints
•
•
•
•
Lead times
Vendor capacity utilization
Shipping availability
Market projections (global demand)
– Technologies used and plant capacities
– Owner schedule milestones
• This data is not 3D model centric!

BIM and Design
• Use early data from supplier selection
– Setup BIM framework with extended SC
• Already doing BIM enabled design integration
across many A/E firms
– Extend to key suppliers

Key challenges
• Effective vendor design integration
– Early design/quality of vendor data
– Role of key partners
• Data re-use/recharacterization
– Level of detail
– perspectives
– Appropriate meta & affiliated data
Implementation
• It (remains) all about process
– Key supplier/vendor partnerships
– Integrated work processes
– Standardization (owner selection)
• Partnership examples
– Fluor – SRA
– Dresser-Rand
• Role of Data Engineer/Manager
– Separate position
