ABSTRACT
To enable this subsequent utilization of information, by the project scheduler, the model has to be held in a compatible object granularity. However this can not be guaranteed automatically. As a result several iteration loops in model creation and extensive coordination between the three different actors (architect/draftsman,
QTO specialist and scheduler) are needed to reach an object granularity that is suitable for the three purposes. The communication overhead related to this is extremely time consuming and requires round trip modifications between actors who do not know about each other’s internal working peculiarities. Consequently, the reuse of information and the adoption of model based working in the scheduling process is difficult to achieve.
