  5. Study Objectives • Describe innovations in debris removal ops • Consider how/whether IT might provide future support

  6. Task/Technology Fit

  7. Case Study • Placement of crane over 1/9 subway • Potentially high risk/high return • Adjacent to slurry wall • Difficult sight lines

  8. Key Data Sources Field Reports Crane maps Sketches +Interviews

  9. Main Tasks 1. Find site that maximized debris to be removed 2. Reinforce site as necessary 3. Transport crane to site 4. Install crane Begin operations

  10. TTF Conclusions 1. Find site that maximized debris to be removed 2. Reinforce site as necessary 3. Transport crane to site 4. Install crane Begin operations

  11. Implications for Future IS • Process Structures: help to set priorities and record group interaction. • Communication Systems: enhance communication between members. • Information Processing: share, aggregate and evaluate information.
