However, with the consideration of the cost implications of logistics and construction processes in different design alternatives, this saving may be less than anticipated or even negative. Following cost advice as outputs of traditional cost models, designers may decide to choose an alternative that is more costly to build. The application of set-based design, production system design, and target costing in Lean Project Delivery System (LPDS) raises a need for a cost model which facilitates trade-off analysis between multiple alternatives of product and process design. Meanwhile, traditional cost models are incapable of supporting product and process design integration in LPDS. This paper describes a research initiative at Project Production Systems Laboratory (P2SL) on investigating how process-based cost models support product and process design integration in LPDS.
