AB - The need for improving product development performance within the construction industry is widely aclrnowledged. In response to this challenge, different process models have been developed by academia and industry to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the design and construction activity. However, the effective and widespread adoption and use of process models has been limited, and the benefits resulting from these endeavours have been ambiguous at best and not existent at worst. This paper presents a framework for evaluating product development process (PDP) models focusing on their implementation. This framework has been tested in a case study carried out on a manufacturing company that have successfully implemented a PDP model for more than 10 years. The paper concludes that the role of PDP models should be defined as means for learning rather than means for control if successful implementations are to be achieved.
