SUM Framework 導入BIM於營建團隊之策略: SUM Framework
建築資訊模型(Building Information Model, BIM)在營建管理之學術研究發展多年，衍生發展的一些商 用軟體之功能也近齊備，在營建工程中已成為一個重要的工具。但要成功的應用BIM工具於實際的營 建工程中仍是一大挑戰。為了協助及解決導入BIM工具時的過程及問題，本研究提出了一個導入BIM 的策略：SUM Framework。SUM Framework可分為三個連續的階段性策略，分別為：系統評估(System Evaluation)、使用性測試(Usability Study)及管理計畫(Management Plan)。依循SUM Framework之策略 ，本研究進行以下三個連續的階段研究：(1)系統評估：透過電腦效能測試評估，提出導入BIM工具 之電腦設備建議。(2)使用性測試：以實際工程的應用測試與使用性測試之方式，提出建置BIM模型 之建議流程，並找出軟體程式的使用性問題，並予以改善。(3)管理計畫：透過訪談了解組織運作與 BIM工具之運用狀況，提出在實際專案中使用BIM工具之建議流程。經由實際案例的驗證，驗證結果 顯示SUM策略除了可提供有效的建議去解決在導入BIM工具過程中所遇到的問題外，並在不影響過多 既有作業模式下，以循序漸進的方式來改善作業模式。希望透過本研究的成果分享，可使營建產業 在導入BIM工具時，降低導入風險及不確定性，也可因此而成功地提升競爭力。

SUM Framework: a Strategy of Adopting BIM Tools to a Construction Firm
Due to the increasing support available in commercial software packages and a greater demand for efficient construction management, the Building Information Model (BIM) is becoming a necessary tool in construction processes. However, successfully adopting BIM tools to a construction firm for use in actual projects remains a challenging task. To address these challenges, we proposed three sequential strategies organized into the System Evaluation, Usability Study and Management Plan (SUM) framework. The objectives of the strategies are: (1) System Evaluation: requirement analysis and performance evaluation of both hardware and software components of the BIM tool; (2) Usability Study: usability tests and improvement of the BIM tool; and (3) Management Plan: workflow re-engineering for the firm to be able to successfully implement and apply the BIM tool in real projects. We tested the SUM framework in an actual project and found that it was able to effectively identify the major problems when adopting a BIM tool to a construction firm and also minimized its own impact on the firm's business processes. This research may benefit construction firms planning to adopt BIM into their existing work processes. Adoption of the SUM framework can help to reduce overall investment risk and ensure a smooth transition from a traditional workflow to a BIM-enhanced workflow.
