Strategies for life cycle-oriented integration of information processes
Published in Manuel Martínez, Raimar Scherer, eWork and eBusiness in Architecture, Engineering and Construction, 2020
Sophisticated information logistics are to ensure that the correct data is in the desired quality at the right place at the right time. A long-term goal is to centralize interfaces by providing a central data platform, which also facilitates the integration of third-party products (based on IFC, for example).
Capturing value through data-driven internal logistics: case studies on enhancing managerial capacity

Earlier research introduced methods to map information wastes on the shopfloor (Meudt et al., 2017; Roh et al., 2019). Their work focused primarily on detecting information stream wastes in administrative production-related systems, known as information logistics. Information logistics is defined in relation to IT administrative systems and aims to ensure optimized information provision and information flow (Filipe et al., 2009). However, there is no tool or structured approach for the evaluation of the information stream on the shopfloor to detect wastes caused by inefficient data flow (Yarbrough et al., 2022). Warehouse operations and IL operations benefit from systems such as warehouse management systems (WMS) or enterprise resource planning systems (ERP). Both these systems have the capacity to automate data collection, handle real-time data flow, and integrate data flow with the other sections of an enterprise. However, these tools have limited ability to analyse the shopfloor wastes in relation to the data flow in IL. In addition, it is challenging to explore the efficiency of the existing data flow structure in terms of meeting the shopfloor user requirements. In addition, there is a lack of empirical studies to evaluate how managerial capacities can be enhanced as a result of creating a seamless data flow in internal logistics.
