Engineering contractors are building very large installations such as nuclear power plants, airports, oil refineries etc. Two closely related artifacts, the plant and the accompanying technical documentation, need to be produced. The quality requirements, the size and the complexity of the documentation are high and any shortcoming may lead to severe problems. State of the art IT systems for engineering documentation fail to meet the requirements and address only the symptoms of problems. This paper presents the underlying scientific theories, methodology and software technology to meet the requirements of high quality technical documentation. The conceptual modeling methodology delivers high quality enterprise models. A software engine executes directly these enterprise models and is the de facto IT system. This paper is for the ER 2011 Industrial Track, describing an innovative software artifact as a solution for a specific industrial problem.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-24574-9_55
