Here we go again,
We are trying to classify equipment, systems, parts, documents, SOP, O&M's of a power plant into a maintenance CMMS system and do this in a way that will leave the next generation a correct guide, in the correct direction. We would also like to make it CAD,MEP, BIM, GIS friendly for integration.
Understanding principles are:
Research shows that 5 out of 10 University system use part or all of Uniformat II system within equipment inventory systems
Uniformat II is applicable to all phase of a building life cycle
Uniformat is building system related, while Masterformat follows CSI numbering system
Uniformat for Assemblies and Masterformat is designed for parts
Uniformat is used for estimating projects before the bid stage, Omniclass is used for organizing specifications and staging
Conclusion:
Uniformat II is used for equipment & systems by programmers, managers, admin, business
CSI is used for parts by inventory, warehouse, vendors
Masterformat or Omniclass is used for documents and bids by engineers, Architects, contractors,
So, we will not be able to use just one system to organize a CMMS for everyone.
Is this correct?
We are facing a similar dilemma, and have arrived at a similar conclusion to you. It is impossible to implement a single classification system that captures all scenarios. Unfortunately, we have not found a mapping document that ties all of these codes together to allow the different areas to communicate on the same items.
To throw another wrench into the system, we have a global user base, which expects their own classification systems to be used, and Uniformat / Masterformat are primarily US based systems.
Has anyone implemented a global classification system with links between the classification codes?
Hi, could this free tool help somewhat?
Autodesk Classification Manager for Revit®
(seems only MasterFormat, UniFormat and Omniclass)
Look at OmniClass Table 21 (Elements) http://www.omniclass.org/tables/OmniClass_21_2012-05-16.zip. It includes the Masterformat Division / Section format, but it's structured according to Uniformat II.
