IR171-2 Prefabrication, Preassembly, Modularization and Offsite Fabrication: Decision Framework and Tool

Is the tool and guideline for implementing PPMOF in a stepwise, hierarchical process. PPMOF has become more viable with recent advances in design and information technologies and offers a substantial opportunity to improve project performance. Successful implementation of PPMOF requires systematic analysis and early decisions based on project factors.

The Decision Guideline Tool:

• Is a tool to help recognize the issues
• Allows judgment-based decisions to be made
• Provides early, high-level review of key issues and timeline guidance for decision-making
• Facilitates project team education and alignment through open communication
• A source of industry drives and impediments to PPMOF
   

The five steps to the PPMOF process are as follows:

1. Decision Timing Map
2. Decision-Making Flow Chart
3. Conceptual Framework for Strategic Analysis Level I
4. Conceptual Framework for Strategic Analysis Level II (MS Excel)
5. Conceptual Framework for Tactical Analysis of PPMOF Alternatives
