“…IHB companies are challenged to improve their productivity as the demand for housing in the market has increased dramatically (Uusitalo & Lavikka, 2021). The companies must be able to respond quickly to changing market demands and unique customer requirements (Grenzfurtner et al, 2021). This has triggered them to consider means to improve the cost and lead times in both design development and production process to become competitive in the housing market (Jansson et al, 2014).…”

“…The production of customised building components generates several new knowledge and experiences, and it is important to integrate those into the design process (Gerth et al, 2013;Tillmann et al, 2015). There are several approaches by which the design phase of IHB can be efficient, thereby improving the overall productivity (Grenzfurtner et al, 2021). One way to improve the IHB design is by adopting an integrated method supporting the decision-making process for designers.…”

Design for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA) has gained increased attention in the construction industry as the process has been industrialized and shifting towards a combination of factory prefabrication and assembly on site. The aim of this study is twofold. Firstly, to apply the DfMA approach in the redesign of a steel bracket from a post and beam building system to simplify the design for reducing the cost and improving manufacturability. Secondly, to experimentally evaluate the mechanical properties of the redesigned bracket for implementation. An experimental case study has been conducted in a multistorey post and beam building system. The empirical data were collected from five semi-structured interviews and two workshops.The result shows that the DfMA approach has the potential to improve the manufacturability and cost of building components in Industrialized house building (IHB) and is comparable to lean design. Moreover, the proposed steel bracket offers satisfactory load-bearing capacities and shows an improvement with a reduction of cost by 15%, lead time by 50%, and material efficiency by 25%. DFMA can be used as a promising approach for aligning the design phases of IHB with the production and assembly by improving cross-functional collaboration.
