The Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) is a CAD data exchange data schema intended for description of architectural, building and construction industry data. It is a platform-neutral, open data schema specification that is not controlled by a single vendor or group of vendors.

The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the essence of the material and information flow chart (MIFC) approach, known as... ... the tool as they use is an altered version of the approach known...

PIFC is one of the lean tools, also known as Material and Information Flow Chart (MIFC) or Value Stream Mapping (VSM). It is widely used as a framework for systematic and structured improvement activities in JIT implementation.

MIFC is one of the lean tools, also known as Value Stream Mapping (VSM). It is widely used as a framework for systematic and structured improvement activities in LM implementation.

Jul 27, 2022 · An IFC file is a model file created in the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) formats, an open file format used by Building Information Modeling (BIM) programs. It contains a building or facility model, including spatial elements, materials, and shapes.

The format establishes international standards to import and export building objects and their properties. IFC improves communication, productivity, delivery time, and quality throughout the life cycle of a building. It reduces the loss of information during transmission from one application to another, with established standards for common ...

This research paper is demonstrating the adaptation of the Material Information Flow Control (MIFC) in implementing Lean Manufacturing at an automotive stamping factory in Malaysia.

Topics in this section. About the IFC File Format The Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) file format is maintained by buildingSMART®. IFC provides an interoperability solution between different software applications. The format establishes international standards to import and export building objects and their properties.

Feb 27, 2025 · The IFC format is standardized by ISO 16739-1:2018 Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) for data sharing in the construction and facility management industries — Part 1: Data schema. As of 2023, the latest release of the specification for IFC is version 4.3.x which, along with all other versions of the documents, is available through ...

IFC can define physical components of buildings, manufactured products, mechanical/electrical systems, as well as more abstract structural analysis models, energy analysis models, cost breakdowns, work schedules, and much, much more. How is IFC used?
