Abstract

Industrial megaprojects, characterized by their scale, complexity, and interdependent components, often face significant challenges, including cost overruns, schedule delays, and stakeholder misalignment. This study proposes several opportunities to integrate Target Value Delivery (TVD) and Front-End Planning (FEP) methodologies to address these challenges and enhance project outcomes. Drawing on theoretical insights and case studies, the research explores the complementary strengths of TVD’s iterative adaptability and FEP’s structured methodology. The proposed integration emphasizes early stakeholder engagement, rigorous scope definition, and iterative planning to mitigate risks, improving cost predictability, and aligning project objectives. This paper contributes to knowledge by providing a comparative analysis of TVD and FEP, identifying integration opportunities, and suggesting practical strategies to overcome adoption barriers. While the list of opportunities is conceptual, it lays the groundwork for empirical validation and adaptation across diverse industrial contexts. This study contributes to advancing Lean Construction principles, offering a pathway to improving the delivery performance of industrial megaprojects.
