Building information modelling in asset management for asset tracking

Abstract

Sistem Pemantauan Pengurusan Aset (SPPA) is an application developed for asset management for the use of all Federal Ministries and Departments. It is based on the Federal Treasury Circular about capital property type, its location, the registration card (Kew.PA-2)., capital property condition and Kew.PA-14, which is to use for maintenance records of capital assets. However, there are still occur cases of negligence committed by officials responsible for the assets involved, in which assets are managed by inefficient and also ineffective manners. The main objective of this study is to describe the method used in Building Information Modeling (BIM) process to the application in the management of current assets in an interactive Asset Data Management (e-PDA). Asset Data Management (e-PDA) that is produced through the process of BIM is an innovative product that helps the stakeholder involved in the management of government assets such as asset location, description of assets, asset maintenance and etc. It is produced by the using of software like Autodesk Revit, Tekla BIMsight and Microsoft Power Point. The method used is to develop e-PDA application in the form of multimedia (e-PDA) to solve the above problems. The findings show that the e-PDA has shown more interactive, can identify the location of assets and placement easier and the system is easy to use and understandable. This is evidenced by a survey conducted to officials responsible of the aset that the use of e-PDA in managing asset is in high agreement about the newly develop system.
