Outcome based KPIs PRIORITY OUTCOMES:
Both client and the project team defined their desired
outcomes from IDD implementation as follows:

leading to delays

MATERIALS PROCUREMENT
Process Focus
To meet their priority outcomes, the project team Long lead time for certain materials
identified Design Confirmation and Shop Drawing (imported) leading to delays if not approved /
Approvals as their focus for process improvement procured on time

• KPIs must reflect desired improvements in processes while working towards meeting overall outcomes
KPI SETTING • KPIs may be company wide, project based, or team based, depending on the scope or intent of IDD implementation.
CONSIDERATIONS: • All KPIs must be measurable and the targets set must be ambitious yet achievable
• Ideally, metrics must measure both Quantity and Quality – improvements in Quantity should not affect the Quality of output

EXCHANGES:
From the current process map, the project team
identified 3 critical information exchanges for
further streamlining and standardization:

1 DESIGN ST MODEL

MODEL DESIGN ST FURTHER

HANDOVER MODEL UPDATE

• Base design (AR+ST) confirmation is a bottleneck

to MEP design confirmation and coordination
• Design ST model has high potential to be
reusable for construction

2 SYSTEM DRAWINGS

DWG PREP SYSTEM DWG APPROVE

• Confirmed and approved individual System

DWG is a pre-requisite for CSD prep & approval

3 CSD DRAWINGS

CSD PREP CSD DWG APPROVE

• Drawing approval usually takes up all

(contractually required) 28 days, with numerous
resubmittals
