“…Devkar et al (2012) used the same questionnaire for evaluating the effectiveness of a TVD simulation exercise. It was also used by Musa et al (2019) when the TVD simulation was administered to 24 practitioners in Nigeria to test their understanding of TVD. Therefore, for consistency, the authors chose to use the same evaluative questionnaire for their online simulation.…”

Early in the development of a lean project, Target Value Design (TVD) practices define owner value, and it is toward actualization of defined owner value that all subsequent lean practices should flow. Participatory simulations have been used to help stakeholders comprehend TVD processes before they are implemented on an actual project, enhancing their effectiveness. This paper introduces results from testing of an online version of a TVD simulation that was being used to teach TVD at universities and to practioner stakeholders before embarking on a sometimes lengthy TVD journey. The online TVD simulation described in this paper arose out of the need to continue to teach TVD despite social distancing requirements that emerged during the global COVID-19 pandemic. This paper chronicles the details associated with the online simulation: the template design, choice of suitable online platform, strategy for playing the simulation, and facilitation of post-simulation discussions. The developed simulation was tested with post graduate students of Construction Engineering and Management Programme at CEPT University. The post simulation discussion and analysis of questionnaire responses received indicate that participants enjoyed this simulation and learned important principles related to TVD. This online simulation is an evolved version of the Marshmallow Tower TVD simulation. Hence, it indicates the growing trend towards evolution of lean simulations and serious game to adjust to changing conditions.

“…Studies have shown a low level of innovation, a lack of collaboration, and limited knowledge sharing in the construction industry (Musa et al, 2019, Alashwal et al, 2011, Ahmed et al, 2017, Xue et al 2014. The studies noted that investment in Research and development (R&D) and intangible assets (such as new processes) is low (Egan, 1998) due to uncertain demand for new goods, limited collaboration (Musa et al, 2019, Namadi et al, 2017, and low transfer of technology from academia to industry. However, recently, there has been a strong interest to harness the power of innovation through the adoption of digital/smart technologies in LC community.…”

Industries are experiencing a new paradigm shift driven by advanced digitalization, automation, smart technologies, and the internet of things. Lean construction (LC) advocates have been promoting the adoption of existing and emerging technologies through Lean construction 4.0 (LC 4.0). This paper presents an opportunity for the adoption of smart digital technologies in the construction industry in the form of "LeanBuild project management software".This paper aims to evaluate the usability of the LeanBuild software after the design stage of development. This paper evaluated the ease of use and effectiveness, and assessed the comprehensiveness of the software design flow. Focus groups, questionnaire survey and interviews were conducted with industry practitioners, academics, and software/IT professionals.The results suggest that the incorporation of data privacy and security, modules for designing and tracking modular and off-site construction, tools for calculating carbon footprints and sustainability, and artificial intelligence, will improve its usability and provide more value to end-users. The paper concludes that while the LeanBuild software has some limitations in terms of scope and functions, it is generally easy to use and effective for its intended users. The study provides insights for software developers to design more user-friendly project management software.

“…Some examples in other contexts are reported in the literature. Russel-Smith et al (2014) discussed the possibility of a Sustainable Target Value Design, aiming to reduce the life cycle impacts, setting targets for environmental indicators tools to evaluate the results and use TVD in green buildings design Additional research on TVD included classroom's layout improvements, using TVD to facilitate the decision-making process (Sahadevan and Varghese, 2019), and simulation games to engage stakeholders in Nigeria's real estate context (Musa et al 2019).…”

The Target Value Design (TVD) is a collaborative process where value drives the design process to achieve the client's expectations while maintaining the costs and schedule under control. Its application has been successful ing several construction projects, especially in the healthcare context. Applying TVD to the real estate context, however, can be challenging. This paper aims to identify links between TDV and the Living Lab (LL) concept which may potentially help overcome these challenges. LLs are usercentred initiatives that focus on developing innovative solutions through cocreation and collaboration among stakeholders in a real-life context. A review on existing literature was performed to identify how a LL approach can strength TVD in a real state context. The results present opportunities to synergize TVD and LL for a beneficial result.
