A Conceptual Information Management Model for SOC Projects

Abstract

This paper presents a conceptual information management model for the efficient management of social overhead capital (SOC) projects. Case studies were conducted on SOC projects currently under construction to investigate information infrastructure, operational processes and programs, and project management information system (PMIS) operation and maintenance aspects. On the basis of the case studies, improvements to the current PMISs were suggested and reflected in the model developed in this paper. The suggested model can integrate and manage the enormous amount of information generated in the different construction project phases and project management functions during an SOC project.
