... 9 BIM is a process that can have a wide-ranging impact on how an organization collects, manages, maintains, and shares facility information. Because of this, any implementation of BIM should begin with a BIM organizational assessment that includes two parts: (1)

... 10 BIM Beyond Design Guidebook 2.2 Data Flow Diagrams After identification of the facility data needs and challenges, the next step in the needs assessment is to create a map of how facility data are currently collected, stored, maintained, and distributed at the airport. A useful tool for this purpose is a data flow diagram (DFD)

Examples of types of facility data utilized by airports include the following: • As-built plans • O&M manuals • Maintenance history and warranty data • Emergency procedures • Asset inventory • Asset condition • Asset valuation • Financial and capital planning data • Facility floor layout plans • Survey data • Geotechnical data • Underground utility locations • Project management data 2.3.1 Digital Survey Method of Prioritization Digital surveys are easy to distribute and take less time for respondents than attending a formal meeting.

... Pre-BIM Activities -- BIM Organizational Assessment 13 The Delphi method is a more structured approach than the digital survey approach just discussed. It uses a panel of experts to respond to questionnaires, similar to a digital survey.

... 14 BIM Beyond Design Guidebook 2.3.3 BIM Roadmap Once an airport has prioritized its mission-critical facility data types, the next step is to organize the improvement of collection, management, maintenance, and sharing of the data as part of a BIM roadmap. The BIM roadmap is a phased implementation plan in which the most missioncritical and least costly facility data needs are prioritized, and the least important and most costly ones are deferred to later phases of the implementation plan.

A BIM organizational assessment process consisting of a needs assessment and a capabilities assessment will aid airports in identifying and prioritizing their needs for the improved accuracy and accessibility of facility data that BIM can provide.
