Abstract

There is a consensus among industry leaders and scholars that the construction sector will lose its competitive advantages if its lethargy to adopt Industry 4.0 technologies continues. As a response, the construction industry has been advocating the more extensive use of the Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) in projects. Research studies on this topic mainly reported technological advancement but rarely addressed the factors that lead to the development of positive organizational behavior towards the implementation of DfMA. A systematic literature review will be adopted to achieve the research aims. A total number of 18 behavioral traits were identified through the method, including client's interest, stakeholders support, availability of DfMA related resources, companies' capability, early involvement of all parties in design, development of DfMA-friendly procurement approach, the use of digital technology, government involvement, etc. The findings will shed light on DfMA adoption on behavioral aspects for global DfMA adoption in the construction industry.
