Design and Implementation of Quality Information Management System for Modular Construction Factory
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Methods
- Data collection was performed to identify key quality information in the module manufacturing process, and key quality information generated at each stage of the process was derived.
- To integrate the various types of quality data generated in module manufacturing into a single management system, information standardization was performed using integration definition for process modeling (IDEF0).
- The overall system design direction was determined based on the previous content, and the main functions of the system were defined accordingly.
- A quality information management system was developed according to the defined functional contents.
- The usefulness of the developed system was validated by accredited certification laboratory test and modular construction experts.

Heuristic Evaluation Items | Evaluation Questions |
---|---|
Visibility of system status | Can the user know at a glance the current state of the system and what operations are currently available just by looking at the screen? |
Are the current states clearly marked, such as icons, images, or hypertext? | |
Is it clearly indicated which location the user has currently selected? | |
Match between system and the real world | Are the terms used in the input window frequently used by users? |
Does the form on the document that users work on match the form on the computer? | |
Are highly related items appearing on the same screen? | |
User control and freedom | Is there an undo function for each action? |
Can the user go back to the previous menu item and change a selection already made? | |
Is the button to the home page on each screen prominently displayed? | |
Consistency and standards | Are the names of the same menu items presented consistently within a system? |
Is the length of the term appropriate? | |
Do all pages have titles and headers that describe their content? | |
Error prevention | Is it possible to simultaneously input letters and numbers in one field in the input window? |
Are the buttons that are not currently applicable are dimmed or not shown at all? | |
Does the system warn the user of the consequences before executing a function that could have serious consequences? | |
Recognition rather than recall | Are the infrequently used but essential tasks easy to remember in order? |
Do the menu items provide multiple steps for the user to remember with ease? | |
Are the names of the buttons clear and easy to understand? | |
Aesthetic and minimalist design | Are the buttons refraining from overly detailed expressions in the button design? |
Is it refraining from using too many colors? | |
