Abstract

The construction industry is a special case of companies whose operational business is mobile. Especially during the construction phase there is on the one hand a high cost pressure but on the other hand an opportunity for significant increase in efficiency through better coordination. Reasons therefore are the high number of mobile work places, the mobility of the equipment pool and the cross-company processes which are necessary due to the increasing specialisation. This article analyses this problem and shows on the basis of chosen use cases how mobile technology can be used with the principles of mobile business processes to generate an integrated process chain over distances that leads to a significant enhancement in costs, time and quality
