ALOR SETAR - The government will use open tender system widely and transparently for large-scale government projects, so that every penny can be well spent. Works Minister, Baru Bian, said that the government was spending more than RM100 billion a year for revenue through various projects and contracts. It is important not to waste, the government holds the peoples trust and it is the obligation to make sure the spending is done prudently, every penny of the peoples money should be well spent, he said at the opening of the conference of senior officers of the Public Works Department (JKR) JKR in the Industrial Revolution era 4.0 (IR 4.0), earlier. Recently, as the main technical department in the construction of state infrastructure, the procurement process selection and implementation implementation mechanism should be in line with. I believe the open tender system and the compliance and enforcement of the Treasury Directive 182, the Road Techniques and Life Cycle Costs at each administrative level will strengthen the governments project implementation system, he said. According to him, the Transformation of JKR in the 11th Malaysia Plan (RMK11) through Building Information Modeling (BIM) method in building projects, including design will be the platform for the development of Artificial Intelligence, Smart Clearing Assets Management and Smart City to the IR 4.0 era. Implementation of government projects focuses only on the Industrialized Building System (IBS) and less integration of both IBS and BIM systems in one project. I hope the use of BIM is expanded, he said. Baru said this was because the ministry had targeted government projects over RM100 million to use at least two BIM levels in 2019, under the Construction Industry Transformation Program. BIM involves the process of developing and managing digital information based on 3D models, as well as systematic data management. Our mind should change with time and think out of the box so as not to be left behind in the flow of technology modernization and not bound to conventional methods, he said. According to him, BIMs research and development should be continued for the improvement of the work process and exploration of its scope of use. The Ministry together with the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) to provide MyBIM Center and MyBIM Library facilities for the construction industry players, it is hoped that the JKR officer will make this center a reference and standard, he said. It also wants JKR to detail IR 4.0 to strengthen its role as a competent, innovative and competitive asset and project management service provider. JKR is entrusted to ensure that public assets are implemented, managed and maintained systematically for optimum benefits. Their ability will be assessed in the implementation of government development projects, he said. According to him, IR 4.0 will affect the worldwide development of the industry besides potentially increasing the level of global income and improving the quality of peoples lives. There are many benefits if we adapt to IR 4.0 technology, which can reduce the dependence of skilled workers or foreign workers especially the manufacturing sector, helping the companys efficiency, be more productive and in line with global trends, he said. Recently, the adoption of Industry 4.0 in the organization can certainly improve efficiency and reduce disability especially in the construction of roads, highways and buildings. |
