The market demands for product development today mean that the product design process must include steps for ensuring design for manufacturing DFM, as well as design for assembly DFA, which are both rolled into one term DFMA, or design for manufacturer and assembly. A modern DFMA program might include steps to analyze the assembly costs, analyze the ease of assembly, assembly time, and the associated manufacturing costs of each manufacturing process. When you add in optimization for your particular supply chain, and then layer on top of that your sustainability goals, that's a hefty calculation to perform before a prototype even hits the factory floor. This is why finding a digital solution for DFMA holds such a huge potential for cost savings and the real time productivity gains that ensure you hit your time to market goals. Today we're looking at a live case study of how one company simplified their design for manufacturing and assembly methodology through a digital twin solution.

The UK's Infrastructure and Projects Authority has just published its Roadmap to 2030 – a clear and bold plan to drive a step change in infrastructure performance. Central to this plan is the adoption of a platforms approach to construction.Bryden Wood first described platform construction back in 2017, and has been developing it ever since. It will transform construction - for everyone's benefit, from reducing carbon to boosting the manufacturing industry.Board Director Jaimie Johnston MBE is also Design Lead at the UK's Construction Innovation Hub. Join him this month as he talks to colleague, Trudi Sully, Impact Director at the Construction Innovation Hub about the IPA's Roadmap to 2030, the importance of collaboration between competitors, and how everything in construction is changing.

Disruption is merely rethinking how we think about innovation. This theme shone through the keynotes, discussions, and breakout sessions on day 2 of MEP Force 2021. We heard from industry leaders across the world about how the past 18 months has been a source of major disruption. The common thread? We are all indestructible. We all turned major disruption into crucial innovation. Amy Peck is the founder and CEO of EndeavorVR. From healthcare, education, retail, hospitality and entertainment to government and industrial use cases, her personal goal is to bridge the gap between the leading edge tech and clients ready to adopt the myriad solutions in the AR/VR stratosphere. James Simpson is the Mechanical Product Manager at eVolve MEP. He has gained valuable experience in all sections of the industry. From within Field Installation, VDC, DFMA, and even application development, he has led teams in bettering workflows. His current passion is driving innovation utilizing ConTech applications. He also shares his expertise in his industry blog BIM² in an effort to promote growth in the field as a whole. Jake has worked in the industry as an engineer and entrepreneur for over 20 years both in the USA and abroad developing new products, software and businesses to transform the way we build. Jake holds a master's degree in Structural Engineering and is a licensed Professional Civil Engineer in California.

What does it mean to be 'indestructible'? On day 1 of MEP Force 2021, panelists, participants, and keynote addresses alike set out to capture and define what it means to be indestructible. Themes emerged from the more than 80 breakout sessions and roundtable discussions: Company culture is at the heart of being indestructible. Attitudes of individuals directly contribute to company outcomes A solid strategy on collecting and analyze data is key. Buy-in when adopting a new tool or technology is just as important as understanding the technology itself. Amy Peck is the founder and CEO of EndeavorVR.

This month Board Director Jaimie Johnston MBE talks with architect, playwright, AI researcher and educator Professor Randy Deutsch about language, critical thinking, and the golden generation.Themes:Life as an architect: adapt to any economic situation The importance of narrative in architectureNarrow AI in architectureArchitecture nomenclature Gen Z as the golden generation of architects

How do you reconcile different opinions, economies, and levels of experience in the field? Join host Todd Weyandt and guest Simon Waldren as they discuss the world of modular prefab, the challenge that comes with different perspectives about the industry, embracing the mindset that it's okay to fail, and how to “check your ego at the door.” Simon Waldren is an Operations Director at Apex Wiring Solutions. He has experience in modular, DfMA, and LEAN. Apex and Simon work hard to advocate for modular construction, helping to drive the industry to better identify challenges, while providing solutions to adapt to meet future market needs. When thinking through the ROI for industrialized construction, remember this is a long-term play. It doesn't mean that you won't find immediate benefits, but you do need to have realistic expectations. IC is a marathon not a sprint. You are bridging the gap from what can be done to what will be done in the future. This leads me to my second take. It is important to give yourself the freedom to fail if you are learning from those mistakes. Simon had a great line that “innovation stands on the shoulders of the people before you.” Find those 1% improvements that you can make. They add up to be a monumental change. Finally, don't try to hide your mistakes. People are going to know. When you do make a mistake, own it, address it and then roll up your sleeves to fix it and learn from it. You will garner so much more respect from others in the end.

On this week's show, I take a deep-dive on Data Templates in the Construction industry with Lars Fredenlund. Lars has been right at the forefront of the industry push towards to use of data templates on projects.As the lines between design, manufacturing and construction are blurred more than ever, it's clear that data templates play a really key role in making the exchange of information between these phases efficient and scalable. To make this happen, in 2020 Lars is part of the working group that will launch the CEN/ ISO standards on Data Templates.In this episode, we’ll be answering some big question like: What does the future hold of data templates within the construction industry?How can a new CEN/ ISO Standard provide the backbone for consistent data sharing and international collaboration on construction projects.Which are the most advanced countries in Europe on the digitalisation journey and the reasons for this? As you will hear, Lars isn’t afraid of telling it like it is and has some really interesting perspectives to share.

Full details available on the Future Distributed blog.This week’s show comes from Sweden. I sat down with Jerker Lessing, the Head of Research and Development for BoKlok, the collaboration between Skanska and Ikea, building beautiful pre-fabricated homes in Sweden, the Nordics and now the UK too. In this episode, we’ll be answering some big question like: How can pre-fabricated housing meet the urgent requirement to build more, high-quality homes in cities around the world? What are some of the benefits of manufacturing houses in this way? And what are some of the key areas that BoKlok will be focussing on as they scale their operations overseas.Links: BoKlok HousingJerker Lessing (LinkedIn) Will Needham (LinkedIn) Ikea gets green light to build affordable homes in UKMake sure you head over to FutureDistributed.org for all the latest content, remember to tell your friends and colleagues that this show is available to listen to for FREE in any app that supports podcasts.

One of the advantages of timber, is it's ability to enable prefabrication for a building to simultaneously improve quality, price and program for a project. The design, logistics and manufacturing are all critical for efficient offsite construction to achieve these productivity gains. At the Frame Australia 2019 conference, I spoke with 3 world leading experts on this topic. In this episode you will first hear Nick Hewson the Design Manager for Xlam on DFMA and logistics, second is Karel Vinckier the founder of HSBCAD on the evolution of BIM, and finally you will hear from Ola Skoglund the COO of Randek on advancements in robotics.   Check out the WoodSolutions website, the world's biggest website on wood: www.woodsolutions.com.au   The WS Technical Design Guide can be found here: https://www.woodsolutions.com.au/articles/mid-rise-timber-buildings-design-guides   If you have any suggestions for guests or feedback on the show, connect with me on Linkedin and let me know: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamjoneswoodsolutions/

Nick Milestone is the Chairman of the Timber Research Development Association, and Philipp Zumbrunnen is a director at Eurban limited, both based out of London. This is a two part series where we listen to these two world renowned international experts discuss how the mid-rise timber building market is developing, from the perspective of the United Kingdom.     In part one of this two part series, we discuss:     The construction targets for the UK for 2025, and how prefabricated timber systems, integrated design and early contractor involvement can be combined to meet these goals  The advantages timber has with design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA) over traditional construction, and why we are on the cusp of a revolution in construction methods  The opportunities to stimulate manufacturing sector, and the response of timber construction workers on site     Building professionals globally are turning to timber in mid-rise construction as it provides a healthier, environmentally friendly (carbon), sustainable, efficiently off-site prefabricated solution that dramatically reduces construction times and accordingly the overall cost of the project.     This is part one of the two part series, stay tuned for part two next week.     If you want to use timber on your next project, there are over 45 free technical guides found at the WoodSolutions website. Technical guide 37 which focuses on the steps to deliver a mid-rise timber building is a good start.  www.woodsolutions.com.au/articles/technical-design-guides
