Inovação de processo: um projeto para a implantação do Building Information Modeling - BIM na Diretoria de Infraestrutura do IFBA

Abstract

This work presents a proposal for the implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the Infrastructure Directorate (DINFRA) of the Federal Institute of Bahia (IFBA). It is intended to design the department to adapt to this new reality that promises to improve, streamline and optimize all work processes, management and activity flows related to projects, constructions, budgets, inspection, maintenance, and hence reflect on the quality of the products generated and services provided by the department. BIM presents itself as a new concept and, at the same time, as a method and a collaborative process that encompasses several technological platforms that aim to create a 3D digital model. It also makes it possible to extract all the information and documentation necessary to monitor the entire life cycle of a given enterprise. The Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operation (AECO) sectors have benefited from it with good results in the products and services generated, both in the private and public sectors. There is also a finding in this work, through the prospecting of patents (2,544 patents), scientific bases (8,225 publications) and the state of the art, that BIM is no longer a trend, but a reality. Thus, in order to elaborate a project for the implantation of BIM at DINFRA, it was necessary to map the current work process of the department with data collection “in loco”, semi-structured interview with the team and analysis of the Internal Rules of IFBA. This resulted in a diagnosis that identified the main factors that will influence the implantation. It was also necessary to signal the requirements of BIM to improve the department's results, proposing an adaptation of the work process that will reflect the need to invest in technologies, infrastructure, team building and training. A budget and schedule forecast was given, as well as a proposal for a system for evaluating and monitoring the results and the process itself. As this is an implementation proposal, some risks and results were projected, based on experiences undertaken in other institutions as well as in the analysis of BIM itself through bibliographic research. As an example of the positive results, we hope to: improve the work processes in projects and planning of works, improve the processes of control and inspection of works and facilitate the processes of building operation and maintenance (predictive, preventive and corrective).
