Data-Driven Materials Management and Project Analytics for PointVerge
To establish quantitative and qualitative measures of mechanical 3D model BOMs (Bills of Materials, i.e. pipe, valves, and fittings) sampled from industry, and to characterize these measures over the lifetime of a project. Focus is on absolute measures and on rate of change of measures. Create a mathematical-data model that can be used to predict growth and risk in a project that is partway complete, just by taking a small time-lapse sample of BOMs from the project. Bonus would be to include budgetary pricing.
