Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If computerized construction systems are introduced to enhance productivity, then construction efficiency improves, but system complexity and initial costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The construction planning system is divided into distinct functional modules: topography data acquisition unit, design data acquisition unit, basic unit data acquisition unit, construction plan calculation unit, and output unit. Each module handles specific tasks independently, making the overall complex system manageable and maintainable while achieving high productivity through coordinated operation of these segmented components
Solution Approach 2:
The construction planning system integrates multiple functions into a single comprehensive platform: acquiring current and design topography data, managing basic unit data, calculating construction plans, and outputting results. This multi-functional approach reduces the need for separate systems and tools, thereby managing complexity while enhancing construction efficiency
2Productivity
If detailed construction planning is implemented to optimize resource allocation, then productivity enhances, but data processing time and computational requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary data acquisition and organization before construction planning begins. Current topography data, design topography data, and basic unit data are collected and prepared in advance, allowing the construction plan calculation unit to process information more efficiently and reduce actual planning time during construction execution
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses digital representations (copies) of topography data and construction parameters instead of physical measurements during planning. By working with digital models and data sets, the system enables rapid computation and iteration of construction plans without the time-consuming nature of physical measurements and adjustments
