A Management Information System for Construction Management Lessons-Learned
Abstract
This thesis was based on the hypothesis that Air Force Civil Engineering construction managers could lessen the impact of inexperience through the use of lessons-learned. The thesis examined the potential for developing an on-line management information system (MIS) to provide better storage and retrieval of lessons-learned. Emphasis was placed on developing a WANG-based system that would be accessible at all levels of Civil Engineering construction. Research consisted of reviewing MIS development methodologies, investigating several existing information systems - both general and lessons- learned oriented - and determining the user's requirements for the proposed MIS. The objective of this research was to identify factors and procedures that should be considered when developing a construction management oriented, lessons-learned management information system for the Civil Engineering WANG computer. The process involved reviewing pertinent literature, logging onto and using existing on-line information systems and interviewing construction managers at the MAJCOM and AFRCEs. Theses.
