Anwendung des Level of Coordination in der Fabrikplanung

AB S T R AC T Cost targets are missed in 72 % of factory planning projects and time targets in 60 %. This is mainly due to inadequate communication and coordination between those involved in planning. To meet these challenges, new methods and tools must be used in factory planning. One such method is provided by Building Information Modeling (BIM) from the construction industry. One element of BIM represents the Level of Coordination (LOC), which maps the phase-related ex-pression of geometric collision checks and alphanumeric quality checks. This was conceptualized in a first paper (Part 1: Level of Coordination in Factory Planning) and applied to factory de-sign. The present contribution represents part 2, in which the concept is first explained again and applied to a real planning example. The subsequent evaluation shows that the use of LOC can lead to an increase in cost and time reliability in factory planning projects.
