Early Involvement and Integration in Construction Projects: The Benefits of DfX in Elimination of Wastes
Typical construction processes provide waste: material waste but especially process-related waste. The majority of this waste can be avoided with efficient planning in the front end of projects. The main aim is to describe how the concept of Design for Excellence (DfX) can reduce the most severe...

| description | Typical construction processes provide waste: material waste but especially
process-related waste. The majority of this waste can be avoided with efficient
planning in the front end of projects. The main aim is to describe how the
concept of Design for Excellence (DfX) can reduce the most severe waste in
construction projects. Based on a literature review of waste and requirements
that aid early involvement and integration, we created a survey for analyzing
and prioritizing types of waste in the construction industry. We describe how
DFX reduces this waste, especially through the use of early involvement and
integration. When applied, DfX creates incentives for project stakeholders to
eliminate waste automatically through early involvement and integration. |
