Abstract

The construction industry suffers from low productivity, and the Building Information Modelling (BIM) has not been successful in enhancing the productivity and the flow of information throughout highly fragmented construction projects. Hence, this study aims to facilitate consistency in information and addresses the current gaps in BIM by applying the Productization and Product Structure concept. The study follows conceptual research approach and accordingly, previous studies on productization and product structure are reviewed. The Part-Phase-Elements Matrix is proposed as a construction-specific product structure to facilitate consistency in information and enhance BIM.

Abstract

Digitalizing business analytics by generating relevant information from data to gain valuable insights and to enhance decision-making is a key ability for companies. We describe a potential concept for digitizing company analytics to enable data-driven approach by providing a path from information needs to visualizing the analysis results, including the consideration of analysis logic, relevant data, and necessary data model. Company business processes, IT applications, and data assets provide the foundations to build upon. The developed concept may enable practitioners to consider possible applications and the needed, already existing technologies.

Abstract

Companies considering a shift from manufacturing and selling physical products to selling services face several questions on service structure and repeatability. The current and potential offerings should be compared in the light of commercial and technical portfolio. The commercial offering visible to the customer needs to be productized and linked to the technical structure for services, including the needed processes and resources. From the financial viewpoint, the cost of delivering the offering should be known to be able to set a profitable price. Productization through a common product structure that acknowledges the commercial and technical views could be used as a tool to clarify the current and potential offerings and transform them into systematic and repeatable form that is comparable. The present study provides an example of using this kind of product structure to model a physical product offered as part of product-oriented, use-oriented, and result-oriented product-service systems. The presented product structure logic enables companies to clarify the offering, describe the processes and resources needed for delivering the offering, and evaluate its profitability.

Abstract

Data are a strategic asset for companies but are not fully capitalized to serve the business. Company data assets that reside in the enterprise applications, the corporate business IT, have the potential to provide additional value aside serving the typical functional role of these applications. One possible application is the fact-based profitability analysis. Understanding company level or business line profitability is not enough for sustainable long-term business success, but product level analysis is needed. Currently product level analysis is often either seen not possible or entails laborious manual work. This study analyses the roles of productization and product structure as preconditions for fact-based analysis of company products. The study is realized as a combination of a literature review and analysis of eight companies. Those responsible for products and financial results may benefit of the understanding of the significance of productization and product structure for fact-based analysis and reporting on company products. The findings support data-driven approach and fact-based analysis.
