Modelo de gestão de um sistema de informação de controlo de obras de construção caso de estudo: CEPROMAT, Ld.

Abstract

Today's society is being strongly dominated by computational and technological resources. The reality shows that with the emergence of new ICT there is an improvement in the execution of various tasks, not only in terms of their automation but also in their integration (ICT) making the work faster and with less execution error. The civil construction sector is identified as one that contributes to the socio-economic development of a country, mainly in the generation of labor. However, the development of a construction project is seen as being dispersed due to the fact that the actors are in different environments with little communication and coordination between them. This lack of communication between process participants causes low levels of productivity and efficiency. Given the current reality, this sector feels the need to implement ICT as a way to eliminate this fragmentation. Faced with this fact is CEPROMAT I.D., a company dedicated to the elaboration of projects, construction and repair of buildings. Currently, the processing of information in this organization is practically manual, making the entire project development process difficult and, in particular, the way in which the material is requested by the different workstations. The main contribution of this degree thesis is the presentation of a model of integration in a web environment of the various workstations to the company's management, focusing on the requisition of material, the course of activities carried out and the approach of the owner of the work in the development of the project. . For the final solution, object-oriented analysis and modeling concepts were used with the help of the UML language. Because object-oriented analysis reflects the real structure, it makes the development of an Information System flexible and cost-effective. The proposed model was developed in PHP because it is a flexible language and because it has scripts’ embedded in HTML codes responsible for arranging truly dynamic web pages. The database was built in MySQL as it is compatible with web applications and because it is a very fast structured query language, with simple administration and low hardware resources. The web server used was Apache because it supports PHP scripts, is easy to manipulate, has excellent performance and security on web pages and because it is compatible with different platforms.
