make a few comments.
Our approach creates an entirely new way of working, one which sets out to achieve the best possible outcomes right from the start.This makes sure that the goals of quality, efficiency, suitability, productivity and sustainability inform every stage of the process.. By adopting a way of working that includes P-DfMA and a standard component design programme, we can achieve repeatable and consistent quality, and also facilitate operational and delivery excellence across projects.
This goal has been identified as a focus for the future of UK construction by The Construction Innovation Hub, and the application of a Platform approach is discussed within the.Construction Playbook.Our DfMA journey.
We began to use the term ‘Platforms’ (P-DfMA) while working with the UK Government Ministry of Justice (MOJ), the Infrastructure Projects Authority (IPA) and the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC).It was the MTC that first introduced us to the concept of Platforms.
The MOJ wanted to design a new type of prison focused on rehabilitation.
We realised that the manufacturing component of the construction process could be taught to serving prisoners, helping to train them in marketable skills for use on release, and aiding rehabilitation.But it is not necessarily the best example to learn from.
For one thing, the product range is far bigger and more diverse than construction would need.More importantly, Amazon is not a neutral broker, a place where the price is set by the market.
Amazon is itself a participant in the market and therefore sets or influences pricing.A digital marketplace for construction should be as neutral as possible, providing a space for buyers and sellers to find each other, without influencing the transaction.. Xometry.
