Research on Management Information System for Construction Consultant in Hydropower Project Based on Process Control

Abstract:

The work of construction consultant in hydropower project in China is different from other countries and the Chinese consultant is more like a supervisor whose work is constrained by the owner. Therefor the consultant has to coordinate among designers, owner and constructors and the information management becomes complex and trivial, especially in the manual management mode, it is difficult to communicate among departments and staffs and manage the information promptly and efficiently. This paper proposed a process control based information management method which includes the main consultant workflow and the consultant business database and used the workflow technology to develop a flexible and adaptable MIS (Management Information System) for construction consultant.
