AB  - The research question is whether Takahiro Fujimoto’s theory of capability-building to create the Toyota Production System (TPS) is useful to understand the creation of a capability for Construction knowledge to inform design (CID). This paper attempts to reveal what was done in sufficient detail to compare it against Fujimoto’s explanation of how Toyota’s capabilitybuilding created TPS. The method used was to create and analyze data using the Fujimoto framework explained in his book, The Evolution of a Manufacturing System at Toyota. Fujimoto’s theory allowed the authors to confirm that Toyota-style capability was created and delivered a significant competitive advantage in 2 of 4 projects where CID was attempted. The capability was created without knowledge of Fujimoto’s theory of Toyota’s capability-building. As with previous studies, it was impossible to identify routines developed to implement the process steps. It was also not possible to distinguish process steps for learning from others for production. Industry fragmentation is an obstacle to the level of integration this capability requires of designers and builders. The capability for construction knowledge to inform design can be created and requires vision and leadership to challenge the traditional design process.
