MEP systems on modern technical projects account for 20 to 40 percent of project cost. The MEP coordination process involves a multitude of Specialty Trade Contractors, the General Contractor, the Designers, and the Owner. MEP coordination bridges the gap between the design, fabrication, and installation phases of a construction project. The process involves accommodating and organizing complex systems within small interstitial spaces and needs to involve both building and operations knowledge in coordination. The MEP coordination process addresses the reciprocal dependencies in design to enable a sequential and pooled construction process and varies from project to project in terms of the organization of the team members, the time and involvement of key team members, and the tools used in coordination. Although MEP coordination is important, in current practice the effectiveness of MEP coordination is only measured in terms of outcomes during construction. The measurement of MEP coordination in terms of outcomes is not useful from a process management perspective. Project teams performing MEP coordination typically control factors related to the representation of MEP systems (product factors), organization of the team performing MEP coordination (organization factors), and process-related factors such as Work Breakdown Structure and schedule for coordination (process factors). A framework based on these controllable factors, instead of outcomes, will provide a useful management tool for managing the MEP coordination process. In this research, based on observing the MEP coordination process and outcomes of MEP coordination on four retrospective case studies and building upon Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) Theory, Lean Construction Methods, coordination Theory, and Economic Measurement Theory, I present the following: 1. A framework for MEP coordination based on Product, Organization, and Process factors that project teams can control. 2. A quantitative method to measure MEP coordination based on this framework. The method to measure effectiveness is correlated with the outcomes in four retrospective case studies and acts as a leading indicator for measuring the effectiveness of MEP coordination. I claim that [bullet point] the IVL framework for MEP coordination, based on controllable factors of Product, Organization, and Process that project teams can control, and [bullet point] the method to quantitatively measure the effectiveness of the MEP coordination process based on this framework are contributions to VDC Theory, specifically for managing the MEP coordination process. This research provides a way for General Contractors and project teams to manage the MEP coordination process based on factors they control versus relying on outcomes, and it has the potential to alter the way project teams performing MEP coordination measure effectiveness of coordination.

A revolutionary, collaborative approach to design and construction project delivery Integrating Project Delivery is the first book-length discussion of IPD, the emergent project delivery method that draws on each stakeholder's unique knowledge to address problems before they occur. Written by authors with over a decade of research and practical experience, this book provides a primer on IPD for architects, designers, and students interested in this revolutionary approach to design and construction. With a focus on IPD in everyday operation, coverage includes a detailed explanation and analysis of IPD guidelines, and case studies that show how real companies are applying these guidelines on real-world projects. End-of-chapter questions help readers quickly review what they've learned, and the online forum allows them to share their insights and ideas with others who either have or are in the process of implementing IPD themselves. Integrating Project Delivery brings together the owners, architect, engineers, and contractors early in the development stage to ensure that problems are caught early, and to address them in a collaborative way. This book describes the parameters of this new, more efficient approach, with expert insight on real-world implementation. Compare traditional procurement with IPD Understand IPD guidelines, and how they're implemented Examine case studies that illustrate everyday applications Communicate with other IPD adherents in the online forum The IPD approach revolutionizes not only the workflow, but the relationships between the stakeholders – the atmosphere turns collaborative, and the team works together toward a shared goal instead of viewing one another as obstructions to progress. Integrated Project Delivery provides a deep exploration of this approach, with practical guidance and expert insight.

Lean Project Delivery and Integrated Practices in Modern Construction is the new and enhanced edition of the pioneering book Modern Construction by Lincoln H. Forbes and Syed M. Ahmed. This book provides a multi-faceted approach for applying lean methodologies to improve design and construction processes. Recognizing the wide diversity in the landscape of projects, and encompassing private and public sector activity, buildings and infrastructure, the book expands upon the detailed coverage of integrated project delivery and new lean tools and techniques to include: Greater emphasis on the importance of creating a lean culture and the initiatives required to transform the industry; Expanded discussions of the foundational writings in lean construction theory; Exploration of the synergies between "lean" and "green" initiatives; Specific procedures for modifying planning and scheduling activities to improve the performance of the project team; Expanded sections on quality, and topics that have become a part of the lean lexicon, such as Choosing by Advantages, "line of balance"/location-based scheduling, virtual design teams, takt time planning and set-based design; Discussion questions for beginners and advanced lean practitioners; and Improved cross-referencing within the text to help the reader navigate the frameworks, techniques and tools to support the application of lean principles. The techniques described here enhance the use of resources, reducing waste, minimizing delays, increasing quality and reducing overall costs. They enable practitioners to improve the quality of the built environment, secure higher levels of customer/owner satisfaction, and simultaneously improve their profitability. This book is essential reading for all those wanting to be at the forefront of construction management and lean thinking.

We live in a dynamic economic and commerical world, surrounded by objects of remarkable complexity and power. In many industries, changes in products and technologies have brought with them new kinds of firms and forms of organization. We are discovering news ways of structuring work, of bringing buyers and sellers together, and of creating and using market information. Although our fast-moving economy often seems to be outside of our influence or control, human beings create the things that create the market forces. Devices, software programs, production processes, contracts, firms, and markets are all the fruit of purposeful action: they are designed. Using the computer industry as an example, Carliss Y. Baldwin and Kim B. Clark develop a powerful theory of design and industrial evolution. They argue that the industry has experienced previously unimaginable levels of innovation and growth because it embraced the concept of modularity, building complex products from smaller subsystems that can be designed independently yet function together as a whole. Modularity freed designers to experiment with different approaches, as long as they obeyed the established design rules. Drawing upon the literatures of industrial organization, real options, and computer architecture, the authors provide insight into the forces of change that drive today's economy.

Successful innovation demands more than a good strategic plan; it requires creative improvisation. Much of the "serious play" that leads to breakthrough innovations is increasingly linked to experiments with models, prototypes, and simulations. As digital technology makes prototyping more cost-effective, serious play will soon lie at the heart of all innovation strategies, influencing how businesses define themselves and their markets. Author Michael Schrage is one of today's most widely recognized experts on the relationship between technology and work. In Serious Play, Schrage argues that the real value in building models comes less from the help they offer with troubleshooting and problem solving than from the insights they reveal about the organization itself. Technological models can actually change us--improving the way we communicate, collaborate, learn, and innovate. With real-world examples and engaging anecdotes, Schrage shows how companies such as Disney, Microsoft, Boeing, IDEO, and DaimlerChrysler use serious play with modeling technologies to facilitate the collaborative interactions that lead to innovation. A user's guide included with the book helps readers apply many of the innovation practices profiled throughout. A landmark book by one of the most perceptive voices in the field of innovation.
