Abstract

ABSTRACT This study aims to use modularity to impact various facets of Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) and explore the relationship between product modularity, process modularity, and DfMA within the context of Offsite Construction (OSC). The study fills this gap through an exploratory single case study by identifying perceptual measures of these three concepts. The study shows the alignment between multi-dimensionality of modularity, such as product modularity and process modularity, enhances the capability of DfMA. From a modularity perspective, the reconfiguration of abstraction, information hiding, and interface is an essential strategy to change the traditional design process. This reconfiguration is to adapt to the new scenarios brought by OSC and digital fabrication technologies and the new design tasks associated with these scenarios. This study has theoretical implications for the modular approach to DfMA and practical implications for those who expect digital fabrication techniques in offsite construction.

非现场施工中的数字化制造与装配设计(DfMA):产品与工艺集成的模块化视角

摘要本研究旨在利用模块化影响制造与装配设计（DfMA）的各个方面，并在场外施工（OSC）的背景下探索产品模块化、工艺模块化和DfMA之间的关系。本研究通过一项探索性的个案研究，通过确定这三个概念的感知测量，填补了这一空白。研究表明，模块化的多维性（如产品模块化和过程模块化）之间的一致性增强了DfMA的能力。从模块化的角度来看，抽象、信息隐藏和接口的重新配置是改变传统设计过程的重要策略。这种重新配置是为了适应OSC和数字制造技术带来的新场景以及与这些场景相关的新设计任务。这项研究对DfMA的模块化方法具有理论意义，对那些希望在场外施工中使用数字制造技术的人具有实际意义。

期刊介绍： Informative and accessible, this publication analyses and discusses the integration of the main stages within the process of design and construction and multidisciplinary collaborative working between the different professionals involved. Ideal for practitioners and academics alike, Architectural Engineering and Design Management examines specific topics on architectural technology, engineering design, building performance and building design management to highlight the interfaces between them and bridge the gap between architectural abstraction and engineering practice. Coverage includes: -Integration of architectural and engineering design -Integration of building design and construction -Building design management; planning and co-ordination, information and knowledge management, vale engineering and value management -Collaborative working and collaborative visualisation in building design -Architectural technology -Sustainable architecture -Building thermal, aural, visual and structural performance -Education and architectural engineering This journal is a valuable resource for professionals and academics (teachers, researchers and students) involved in building design and construction, including the following disciplines: -Architecture -Building Engineering -Building Service Engineering -Building Physics -Design Management and Design Coordination -Facilities Management Published papers will report on both fundamental research dealing with theoretical work and applied research dealing with practical issues and industrial innovations. In this way, readers explore the interaction between technical considerations and management issues.
