“…The other explanatory/rational decision support techniques such as DQI (1.6%), LPS (1.6%), BIM (2.6%) come with similar limitations. Other techniques including statistical such as interpretive structural modelling [63], Graph Theory [52], Spearman's correlation coefficient index [61], Monte Carlo analysis [66]; and Means-End Chain [67] and zero-one goal programming [5] among others account for 19.4%. MCDM techniques and some Hybrid techniques to address some of these limitations.…”

“…This is even though it is at the FED when vital decision making is taking place that can affect a project's lifecycle performance during this time [1]. Moreover, decision-makers are continually making subjective decisions influenced by their social, economic, environmental, political or technological contexts among others [5,6]. The result is waste and dis-benefits resulting from inefficient and inadequate decision making that ultimately affects requirements management and project processes.…”

A Utilitarian Decision—Making Approach for Front End Design—A Systematic Literature Review

The complexity of construction processes often means interaction between various stakeholders, activities and tasks in order to deliver the expected outcomes. The intensity and dynamics of front-end design (FED) mean decision techniques and methods are important in supporting projects benefits delivery more importantly those based on utility of decision making. This paper explores a new utilitarian decision-making approach based on a systematic literature review of FED decision making. It presents the state of the art in design decision making concepts and analysis of tools over the last 10 years (2009–2019). From a total of 111 peer-reviewed journal papers, fifteen decision-making techniques are identified as dominant in design decision making, broadly grouped in four major categories as explanatory/rational, Multi Criteria Decision Making techniques (MCDM), Hybrid and Visual methods. The review finds that the most applied of the MCDM is Quality Function Deployment (QFD); while among the rational/explanatory techniques is set-based design (SBD). While there is limited application of Multi Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) in decision making, the paper finds that the robust consistency and structured approach better captures the intricate dynamics of FED; including modelling of the subjectivity, interdependences and uncertainty in design discourse.

“…Urban routes should be robust enough to safely resist normal and critical design loads and possess an adequate capacity to let commuting of people without interference. Efforts directed towards an efficient design of city roads are presented by [4,7,12,[21][22][23]. Another important parameter regarded in the design of cities is the ability to evacuate the inhabitants in case of natural disasters.…”

“…The ANP method has been successfully applied as a systematic selection process to guide decision-making in various industries, such as information system technologies [25], commodities [26], water and wastewater treatment [27,28], urban design [29] and renewable energy [30]. However, a review of the state-of-the-art of ANP application studies revealed that, to date, no attempts have been made to apply the ANP method in urban surface water management.…”

Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) have gained popularity over the last few decades as an effective and optimal solution for urban drainage systems to cope with continuous population growth and urban sprawl. A SuDS provides not only resilience to pluvial flooding but also multiple other benefits, ranging from amenity improvement to enhanced ecological and social well-being. SuDS modelling is used as a tool to understand these complex interactions and to inform decision makers. Major developments in SuDS modelling techniques have occurred in the last decade, with advancement from simple lumped or conceptual models to very complex fully distributed tools. Several software packages have been developed specifically to support planning and implementation of SuDS. These often require extensive amounts of data and calibration to reach an acceptable level of accuracy. However, in many cases, simple models may fulfil the aims of a stakeholder if its priorities are well understood. This work implements the soft system engineering and Analytic Network Process (ANP) approaches in a methodological framework to improve the understanding of the stakeholders within the SuDS system and their key priorities, which leads to selecting the appropriate modelling technique according to the end-use application.
