Cloud Computing: Rebuilding EPC Management Mode

Abstract:

Relying on cloud computing concept and based on engineering theories and practical conditions to change from the traditional management concept based on engineering object division to the post-centered EPC new mode; realize real-time automatic and intelligent acquisition and processing of the project data and information, synchronic evolution of management system and works progress and full sharing of information resources in the system; establish all-service operating system through three steps, i.e. rebuilding of management structural system, intellectualization of management system and building of knowledge discovery model. The new mode can effectively improve the overall management level of the project, systemically prevent engineering risks and reduce cost of project construction and management in the long run. The development of cloud computing is of great significance to the management of construction and engineering industry in respects of intelligent completion of business functions within management system, free transition of business modules and convenient alternation of supervision hierarchies and means both inside and outside the system. Especially in field with serious project corruption, replacing the existing management mode with a new type intelligent, self-organizational and all-service EPC mode can greatly reduce the interference and impediment of human factors.
