A Preliminary Concept for a Design Criteria Management System.

Abstract

The Corps of Engineers' design process relies on the relevancy and currentness of the data used in facility design and the transfer of these data to and from a variety of design and review levels. This report presents a conceptual description of an effective system for the organization, management, and communication of Department of Defense and Corps of Engineers military construction design criteria. The conceptual system comprises three major subsystems: (1) the Standard Design Criteria Subsystem provides for the handling, consistency checking, and production of standard design criteria; (2) the Project-Specific Design Criteria Subsystem permits the introduction of project-specific criteria and the merging of them with standard criteria; and (3) the Facility Criteria File Generation Subsystem translates the criteria into an appropriate format and relates the criteria to the design procedures.
