Identify types of information requirements

00:02

Welcome to the second objective of this course where we will discuss the different types of information requirements.

00:18

This is where we are in the workflow.

00:21

Once the project information is defined,

00:23

we can move on to identifying the types of information required.

00:32

At various stages of an asset lifecycle,

00:35

stakeholders have different information needs.

00:39

These needs are serviced by different information deliverables that are exchanged throughout the design,

00:46

construction and operation phase.

00:49

Providers of information produced these deliverables as part of an appointment.

00:58

For this reason,

00:59

different types of information requirements need to be established from the project outset

01:05

to define the requirements and delivery mechanisms for a BIM project.

01:13

The Project Information Requirements(PIR).

01:15

The PIRs are high-level project specific requirements

01:19

that defined the information needed at crucial decision points during the delivery of an asset.

01:28

Key decision points are when The Appointing Party decides upon information provided by the delivery team

01:34

and defines the information delivery milestones.

01:40

Set of information requirements

01:42

should be prepared for each of the Appointing Party's key decision points during the project.

01:53

The Asset Information Requirements(AIR).

01:55

The AIRS define detailed requirements that outlined the information needed,

02:02

to operate and maintain the asset throughout its lifecycle.

02:07

For Maintainable Assets.

02:09

The Asset Information Requirements set out Manager, commercial and technical aspects of producing asset information.

02:19

Furthermore, the asset information requirements defines the required information and how it should be delivered.

02:29

Asset information requirements aims to ensure the right people have the access

02:35

to the correct information to maintain and operate the asset effectively.

02:41

In addition, there are also two different types of outputs that can be a part of a BIM delivery.

02:50

The first output being the creation of a Project Information Model(PIM).

02:58

The PIM is collection of information that responds to the specific information requirements

03:05

and provides all the information required to carry out the delivery phase of an asset.

03:14

Developed during the delivery phase.

03:17

The PIM Includes geometrical information, 3D models,

03:23

alphanumerical information, databases or spreadsheets and information for documentation, drawings or plans.

03:35

The PIM should also be stored by The Appointing and Appointed Parties

03:42

to provide a long term archive of the project and for auditing purposes.

03:50

The second output of the information management process is the creation of an Asset Information Model,

03:55

also known as AIM.

03:57

Which provides all the information required to perform the operation phase of an asset.

04:03

At the end of a project,

04:04

the project information model contributes to the asset information model,

04:08

to support asset management activities.

04:11

Some components of the project information model

04:14

may be transferred to the asset information model while unnecessary data is archived.

04:21

Developed in the operational phase,

04:23

the asset information model reflects the AIRs build conditions,

04:26

including geometrical information, such as 3D models.

04:30

And often numerical information, such as databases and spreadsheets

04:35

for asset management activities.

04:38

Changes to the asset information model will be about a trigger.

04:43

And an example a planned or unplanned events that changes an asset,

04:46

such as major works or planned refurbishment.

04:52

The organizational information requirements, also known as OIR,

04:56

are high-level requirements that defined the information needed to meet The Appointing Party's strategic business objectives.

05:03

The organizational information requirements ensure the correct information feeds back into an organization

05:09

to support more comprehensive business decisions.

05:13

For example,

05:14

the information needed by a rail operator is very different to that of a manufacturing facility.

05:21

Therefore,

05:22

the organizational information requirements are the starting point after all other information requirements are defined.

05:30

The Exchange Information Requirements, also known as EIR,

05:34

are detailed appointment specific requirements.

05:37

The Exchange Information Requirements specify what information is needed at each information milestone

05:43

to enable parties to complete necessary activities during an assets delivery and operation phase.

05:50

Therefore,

05:51

the exchange information requirements are collectively defined from the organizational information requirements,

05:57

project information requirements and asset information requirements.

06:01

Developed per appointment and set out the manageable, commercial and technical aspects of producing project information.

06:09

The manageable and commercial aspects include the standards,

06:13

production methods and procedures to be implemented by the delivery team.

06:19

The technical aspects of the exchange information requirements

06:22

require that the project information requirements have been defined

06:26

to specify the pieces of information needed to answer the project information requirements.

06:33

That is all that we have to cover in this objective.

06:36

I will see you in the third objective of this course.
