In large-scale projects such as power plants, shipbuilding, and plants, it is very important to complete work according to the work process, because many detailed processes are in progress and it takes time to complete the project.

This is done by supplying the design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and delivery in a lump sum, which is called EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) business.

When the EPC project is carried out, a schedule is prepared in the planning process. Generally, the schedule is created by using the milestone schedule and activity information of the whole construction.

Milestone is a key indicator of construction, and the milestone schedule refers to the time when the milestone in the whole construction is required to be achieved. Activity refers to the unit process of the construction. The activity information includes the date on which the activity is to be performed, air (construction period), and interrelationship with other activities.

As the construction project becomes larger and the construction period becomes longer, planning is becoming more important. In recent years, the EVM system (Erned Value Management System) has been applied to the integrated management of core tasks for EPC business.

The EVM system is a system that collectively manages cost management, estimating, and construction management of the construction work by organically linking it. It evaluates the execution budget and makes it possible to forecast future processes, thereby improving the efficiency of construction management. It is possible to analyze the problem of current construction work and establish countermeasures by predicting the cost versus the schedule.

An example of a technology for managing a business such as construction or shipbuilding using the EVM system is disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0927953 (published on Nov. 24, 2009, hereinafter referred to as Patent Document 1), Korean Patent Publication No. 10 -2012-0121634 (published on November 6, 2012, hereinafter referred to as "Patent Document 2").

Patent Document 1 discloses an integrated computer database by a smart client method using Http Remoting based on a client server (CS), and integrates the construction cost of the construction work for the civil engineering field in the enterprise (EVM), which can integrate management of information such as budget management, schedule management, quantity indentation, underflow management, off-the-shelf management, progress management and performance analysis, A system and method are disclosed.

Patent Document 2 describes a process of setting up EVMS (Earned Value Management System) data on a structure according to a project in performing a specific project (for example, construction work), a process of generating a three-dimensional model from two- , The process of linking the 3D model with the EVMS data, the process of converting the 3D model from the web to the Internet model for simulation, and the process that can be managed in connection with the 3D model provided with the web-based process and cost And a web-based BIM system for managing costs and an operation method thereof.

However, this prior art has a problem in that it is difficult to grasp the degree of process at a glance and its use is complicated because the process and cost management are managed collectively.

Hereinafter, an apparatus and method for managing a project according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a project management apparatus 30 and a system related thereto according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the system may include a database 10, an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) 20, and a project management device 30.

The database 10 is classified as a site construction center and stores a work breakdown structure (WBS) and a standardized schedule accordingly.

The task classification scheme stored in the database 10 may include a project, a unit, a phase, a facility, a work (or a work package), and a task It can be configured as a hierarchical structure that is standardized in six stages of activity, and standard schedules are stored at each hierarchical level.

To this end, the database 10 may be constructed in a standardized database structure including a project, a unit, a phase, a facility, a work and an activity database 11 to 16 for storing data for each level.

In detail, the work classification system stored in the database 10 includes a standard structure of facilities and work packages, centering on field construction, and constitutes an overall structure. The system includes a facility having the same name for each design, purchase, , And a standard process schedule for each phase can be stored.

The hierarchical structure of the database 10 will be described in detail as follows.

A project database 11 for storing a project of a first level sets a project in a name having a concept of a facility and a unit database 12 for storing a unit of a second level includes units necessary for a business according to the nature of the project If there is, set the unit at the lower level of the project and save it. If there is no unit, it can be omitted.

The phase database 13 storing the phase of the third level stores the phase name and the standard process schedule for each phase in the order of design, engineering, procurement, construction, and start- .

As shown in FIG. 3, the facility database 14 for storing facilities at the fourth level is a facility for setting facilities by various facilities or objects for performing a project based on a site construction work, The process schedule can be saved. For example, in the case of a power plant construction project, facilities are standardized with a total of 90 items such as boilers, turbines, generators, steam systems, and water systems. Each facility has its own code number assigned to each facility A standard process schedule can be stored.

Such standardized items can be changed, deleted or added according to the site construction work.

And the facility database 14 may set the system, the area, and the facility type in a phase.

For example, the civil / architectural facility can be set to a zone of the relevant facility type or the name of the building, and the mechanical / electrical facility can be set according to the facility type (system). This facility can be created with the same name in the design and purchase phases as in the construction phase.

The work database 15 storing the fifth level work can set and store work as a necessary construction work for implementing facilities as a group of activities from the perspective of civil engineering, construction, machinery, and electric work. The work that is set in this way serves to link process and cost integrated management.

For example, in a power plant construction project, 30 items such as a piling work, a concrete work, and a steel work are standardized and set, and each work item can be given a unique code number and a standard process schedule.

The activity database 16 for storing activity as the sixth level reflects each activity, which is a work unit constituting the work, as a detail item of the bill of quantities (BOQ) or characteristics of each phase, namely, design, purchase, and construction phases Can be defined and stored. Here, the activity is also the minimum unit of unit price mapping of resources. A standard process schedule for each activity is stored.

In this manner, the database 10 organizes the processes necessary for project execution in a hierarchy, classifies the construction work into sub-types and manages them, and stores a standardized schedule for each sub-process (activity).

The enterprise resource management system 20 determines a work classification system (WBS), and various information necessary for project execution such as information on a purchase order, information on a job order, To the management device (30). At this time, the outsourced management information such as the vendor execution detailed schedule can also be transmitted together.

The enterprise resource management system 20 can also transmit various information such as cost management, performance management, and outsourcing progress management of the project to the project management apparatus.

The project management apparatus 30 includes a user authentication unit 31, a schedule establishing unit 32, a work process aggregation unit 33, a delivery delay estimating unit 34, a user interface unit 35, and a project management unit 36 ).

The user authentication unit 31 stores the user information in advance. When the user ID and the password are inputted, the user authentication unit 31 compares the information with the previously stored information to determine whether they match or not. Pre-stored user information can be in-house employees. The user authentication unit can manage the user by dividing the user into a general staff member and a part or team leader. The project management unit 36 described below can display the whole work of the part or the team together with the personal work when the user is a part or team leader.

The schedule establishing unit 32 receives information related to a project, such as a work classification scheme, purchase information, and work instruction information received from the enterprise resource management system 10, and establishes a schedule of the project based on the information. That is, it judges where the project corresponds to the work classification system and compares the total schedule and the sub-work schedule (activity-specific schedule) of the project to be performed by comparing with the standard schedule of the corresponding job classification system stored in the database.

For example, if the expiration date from the effective date of the contract to the delivery date is longer than the standard schedule, adjust the long schedule accordingly and shorten the schedule in the opposite case.

FIG. 4 schematically shows a process of constant establishment.

4, the schedule establishing unit 32 basically adjusts the standardized schedule in accordance with the construction period of the new construction project designated by the user or the project related information received from the enterprise resource management system 10 Create a schedule of new construction projects through.

If the standard construction period corresponding to the standard schedule is shorter than the construction period of the new construction project as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the standard schedule is extended to schedule the new construction project.

If the standard construction period corresponding to the standard schedule is longer than the construction period of the new construction project as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the standard schedule is shortened to schedule the new construction project.

However, even if the standard schedule is fixed, the milestone schedule or activity information of the new construction project may not be processed at the same rate, and the user may control the generation of the schedule more finely.

Specifically, the schedule establishing unit 32 may include a master schedule establishing unit 321, a production schedule establishing unit 322, and a design schedule establishing unit 323 for establishing an overall schedule of the project .

The master schedule establishing unit establishes the entire schedule of the project based on the purchase information, the production schedule establishing unit establishes a schedule for each production activity based on the work instruction information, and the design schedule establishing unit Establish a schedule for each design activity.

The progress ratio aggregation unit 33 compiles the progress rate for each activity of actual design, purchase, and construction.

The delivery delay estimating unit 34 predicts the delivery delay possibility by comparing the schedule established in the schedule establishing unit 32 with the actual progress rate calculated by the progress rate aggregating unit. In order to allow the user to easily grasp the delay possibility, an activity having high possibility of delay and an activity not likely to be delayed among the various activities of the project are grouped and displayed in the user interface unit 35 in a controlled manner.

FIG. 5 shows an example in which the delivery delay prediction results are classified into three types and displayed.

Referring to FIG. 5, in the case where the allowance period for schedule comparison is less than 0, it is indicated in red. In the case where the allowance period is greater than or equal to 0 and less than 30 days, yellow is displayed, 'Days, it can be displayed in green. In the present invention, an allowance period means that the actual work progress is subtracted from the delivery date determined in the schedule established in the schedule establishing section.

Although the delay reference is set to 30 days in this embodiment, it can be set shorter or longer as necessary. That is, 30 days is a reference date for indicating that there is a possibility of delay due to a short margin period, and this reference date can be changed.

The user interface unit 35 may provide various interface screens so that the user can grasp his / her work status and project progress status.

Fig. 6 shows an example of such an interface screen. FIG. 6 illustrates an embodiment of a user interface, and the interface screen can be changed in various forms.

As shown in FIG. 6, the interface screen includes Main, PJT schedule creation, PJT schedule, My task, Project schedule confirmation (PJT schedule confirmation), REPORT, PJT schedule management, Various tabs such as Workflow, Manager, etc. can be displayed.

FIG. 6 illustrates an example in which the Main tab and the RERPORT tab are activated among the plurality of tabs

When the user selects the main tab, the task of the user is displayed as indicated by the drawing number 61 as shown, and when the current task (Job To-do) is clicked on the displayed item, the task list currently in progress is listed up as the drawing number 62 . And if the user is a department manager or a team leader, the entire schedule can be checked as well as individual schedule.

As we have seen, a project contains a number of activities, and the delivery dates for each activity are fixed. In each project, the possibility of delays due to the delivery date is displayed in the form of traffic lights with different colors,

As can be seen from FIG. 5, red is the case when the allowance period is less than '0' after the delivery date, yellow is the case where the delivery date is between 0 and the reference date, and green is the delivery date is the reference date or more.

Referring back to FIG. 6, the first project's Shinhan Wool # 1,2 T / G Schedule has 1 red, 6 yellow and 93 green, which are delivered from Shinhan Wool # 1,2 T / G project This indicates that there are one job (activity) that has passed the expiration date, six jobs that have an allowance period that is less than the reference date, and 93 jobs that have an allowance of more than the reference date.

When the user selects the REPORT tab, the project delivery status or project progress can be viewed in a list or graph form. Reference numeral 64 denotes an example of a lift.

Drawing No. 65 is a graph showing other types of statistical data that can be created at the time of lifting, that is, the date of adherence to the start date and adherence to the completion date.

In addition, the user interface unit 35 may further include an interface screen for creating a project schedule and inputting an achievement.

The project management unit 36 processes the project information into a required format according to the user input information input through the user interface unit 35 and controls the interface unit 35 to display the processed project information.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the user selects a project tab (PROJECT, 61) on the interface screen, the current project is controlled to be listed up as indicated by reference numeral 62, The schedule for the sub-process for the selected project can be controlled to be displayed in the form of a bar as shown in FIG.

In addition, when the user selects a report tab on the user interface screen, the project management unit 35 can control to create and display a list of project progress status or statistical status.

8 shows an interface screen of the project schedule confirmation tab (PJT schedule confirmation).

Referring to FIG. 8, a project list and a detailed information list are displayed.

Reference numeral 81 denotes purchasing detailed information, reference numeral 82 denotes design detailed information, reference numeral 83 denotes a project detailed schedule, and reference numeral 84 denotes a project schedule in bar form.

By providing the above-mentioned interface screen, it is possible to check the customer's delivery schedule, schedule, and actual production schedule for each project and item by graph and date and graph. In addition, the details of design, production, purchasing, and subcontracting details can be viewed from a single screen, so communication with other business units can be increased.

The interface screen may be displayed under the control of the project management unit 36.
