“…'As-is' models simply try to depict the process, some focusing on the process as a whole (e.g. Prasad et al, 1998;Yazdani and Holmes, 1999), while others describe parts of it (e.g. Mazijoglou and Scrivener, 1998).…”

Purpose -Different process models have been developed by academia and industry to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the design and construction activity in response to the need for improving performance. However, the effective and widespread adoption and use of process models have been limited, and the benefits resulting from these endeavours have been ambiguous at best and non-existent at worst. This paper synthesises the key general and construction-specific literature related to process model implementation around a generic model, providing a systematic picture on the current knowledge on implementation. Design/methodology/approach -Secondary data sources were reviewed, criticised and synthesised. The books and academic papers identified focused on the areas of process management in construction and manufacturing, change management and knowledge/technology transfer. Findings -The paper concludes that the body of literature related to process model implementation lacks an integrated focus and cohesion, and the need to appropriately locate and operate the implementation strategy within a visible organisational context is not adequately addressed.Research limitations/implications -The paper review and synthesis are limited to relevant literature within the context of implementation of process models. Practical implications -Gaps in the literature are identified and discussed, and a set of questions proposed to stipulate future research. Originality/value -The paper originality relates to providing a broad, systemic perspective on the complexity of process models implementation, analysing it from different but interrelated conceptual lenses.

“…The strategies for guiding teamwork included the encouragement of the division of tasks and the formulation of concurrent engineering practices. These principles are the foundation of modern engineering practices in industry and as Yazdani et al indicate, the trend is continually toward these ideals, where sequential engineering is being replaced by various forms of refined concurrent engineering [29].…”

“…While conventional concurrent engineering (e.g. Dixon and Poli 1995, Brookes and Backhouse 1998,Yazdani and Holmes 1999 designs components of the product concurrently, we emphasise the concurrent design of both products and service activities. By releasing early and partial information, products and service activities can be produced interactively (Hara et al 2007).…”

Manufacturers are required to supply customers with services beyond material products. In this context, the engineering target that needs to be analysed and designed is shifting from simple products to product-service systems (PSS). Although there is considerable literature on PSS, design methodologies and computerised tools have not been introduced. We have been researching service/product engineering to develop PSS since 2002.This paper presents a computer-aided design (CAD) system for service innovation using engineering, management, and marketing disciplines. We describe our service model implemented on the CAD software and demonstrate through an example. We extend the service blueprint for the marketing field to include product behaviour by using physical features from the engineering field. The view model, which describes the functional structure of service for an RSP (Receiver State Parameter), works as a bridge between product behaviour and service activity.Our framework clearly illustrates the relationships between humanware, hardware, and software in services. Therefore, using our CAD tool, managers, marketers, and engineers can collaborate to improve existing services or to design a new service.
