Abstract
The design phase in the life cycle of a construction project contributes significantly to the performance of a project. The poor outcomes from the design phase in the construction project development process are considered as the major contributors to project delay, poor performance, and budget overrun. All of these affect the overall project performance. It is the aim of this study to innovate a design process model to improve the performance of design process where conventional design processes would not be effectively or efficiently applied. The adaptation of lean principles with the identification of wastes in design process and identification of enablers in design process are evaluated. The innovative design process model presented in this paper is developed based on the core enabler that can be used to eliminate the identified waste. There are 15 wastes identified and the set-based concurrent engineering (SBCE) is considered in the core enabler of the design process model.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
