OSM Readiness Tool

The OSM Readiness Tool (V1.0) was developed in response to a request by industry partners, SBEnrc Project 2.2 Offsite Fabrication. The problem identified was: 'What will enable us to determine if Off-Ssite Manufacture (OSM) is suitable for a building project?' International studies indicate that benefits are accrued if OSM is considered at early stages and incorporated into the design. Successful OSM adoption can be increased though planning and engagement with all OSM stakeholders throughout the entire building process. Having OSM capability and capacity information available will assist the project team with decision-making concering adopting an OSM procurement model. Timing of the decision to adopt an OSM procurement model effects project outcomes: Early adoption of the OSM procurement model, with input from a wide variety of OSM stakeholders, is considered the low risk option. A high level of stakeholder engagement provides information concerning the availability of essential OSM capability and capacity. Expertise, from a wide range of stakeholders, supports integration of OSM into the total project at the Arrange Team stage. Adopting OSM at the Tendering stage could mean additional delays for delivery and possible problems with integrating OSM specifications into the Shop Drawings. Adopting an OSM procurement strategy after the Detail Design is completed can benefit a building project, but the benefits afforded by early AEC knowledge sharing relationships will be limited, thus constraining the effectiveness of an OSM procurement model indicating a medium level of risk. Adopting OSM at the Construction stage of a project is always an option. But, the lack of early project team planning and engagement will certainly mean delays and difficulty with on-site installation. Thus, late adoption of an OSM procurement model is considered a high risk delivery strategy.

《OSM Readiness Tool》（V1.0）系应行业合作伙伴及SBEnrc项目2.2离场制造的需求而研发。所识别出的问题为：‘何种因素将使我们能够判断离场制造（OSM）是否适用于某一建筑项目？’国际研究表明，若在项目早期阶段考虑OSM并将其纳入设计，则可累积诸多益处。通过规划和与所有OSM利益相关者在整个建筑过程中的互动，可增强成功采纳OSM的可能性。拥有OSM的能力和容量信息将有助于项目团队在采纳OSM采购模式方面作出决策。采纳OSM采购模式的时机对项目成果有重要影响：在广泛吸纳OSM利益相关者意见的基础上，早期采纳OSM采购模式被视为低风险策略。利益相关者的高度参与，可提供有关关键OSM能力和容量的可用性信息。来自各利益相关者的专业知识支持在安排团队阶段将OSM整合至整个项目中。在招标阶段采纳OSM可能意味着交付的额外延误以及将OSM规范整合至施工图中的潜在问题。在详细设计完成后采纳OSM采购策略可能对建筑项目有所裨益，但早期建筑、工程和施工（AEC）知识共享关系所带来的益处将受限，从而限制了OSM采购模式的有效性，并显示出中等风险水平。在项目施工阶段采纳OSM始终是一个选择。然而，缺乏早期项目团队规划和互动无疑将导致延误和现场安装的困难。因此，OSM采购模式的晚期采纳被视为高风险交付策略。
