5. Construction Management & Engineering • focuses on the need to acquire better insights into the mechanisms governing innovation in the building processand its environment. • research program concentrates on the management and governance mechanisms of construction processes, the interfaces between planning and design, and design and realisation. • the program integrates various insights from different disciplines: technology, public and business management, and design (management), and the development of innovative construction processes and materials.

10. Demand perspective • Design management/demand • User participation and collaborative design • Role and selection of designers • Design communication • Briefing • Design quality • Key performance indicators and value management

11. Supply perspective • Mass customisation: Possibilities and limitations of platform driven design and development of products Engineering to order: value engineering / management • Design management/supply • Design reflection and design expertise development of designers • Composition and management of design teams • Design coordination, design integration Constructability: interface between design and realisation

12. Management perspective • Supply chain management and logistics • use of ICT Design management/organisation • Innovation management, risk management, planning and control • Managing innovation • Design tools for risk management (project, corporate and branch level)

13. Central theoretical focus Systems engineering • a requirements driven way of controlling the design process • a goal-directed structured and multi-disciplinary design process and a coherent set of design and management principles, techniques and tool especially for a customer order driven engineering

14. Future Reinforce our focusesStrengthen our research • Collaborate with other groups (research / education) • Demand perspective: architectural design and management (TUDelft, ADMS?) • Supply perspective: mass customisation (TUDelft, TU/e?) • Management perspective: (BBT UTwente, TM TU/e?) Industrial design departments Tool development (user participation, design collaboration, decision support, design management)
