Although some level of design reuse is present in any engineering project, systematic design‐for‐reuse is less commonplace. Despite the known benefits of reuse, the implementation of systematic reuse faces strong resistance from management and designers. This paper considers inhibitors to implementing design reuse methodologies and the steps required to successfully transition from a no‐reuse culture to one of systematic reuse. Also considered are some of the pitfalls that can doom a poorly planned reuse initiative.
