What we aim to do is make sure that projects are well aligned with business requirements; to define and design future assets that translate a company’s strategic objectives into tangible manufacturing facilities – and provide added value.The key point here is that we put a great deal of effort into defining the business needs.
That is, after all, why we're doing the project.. We also invest effort into constantly assessing how well our design solutions match those needs.This has often resulted in solutions that require no capital expenditure at all, because we find different ways of meeting the requirements..The Design to Value approach relies fundamentally on close collaboration between a wider range of experts than is seen in conventional projects, particularly including business functions.
These experts are actively involved in the definition and search for solutions on an equal footing with the engineering and architectural people who would normally be considered part of the project team.. We also use an iterative approach to pharmaceutical facility design, recognising that good solutions emerge from exploration of all the options.So our chances of finding the optimum solution are increased when compared to more linear design approaches..
There are four principles that enable us to operate in this way:.
A common language allows people with diverse areas of expertise, including those not normally involved in design and construction, to participate fully in design decisions.In these times we tend to grasp onto something, anything that relieves the feelings of being lost.
Like being swept away in a river, we feel the need to grab hold of the nearest branch or rock.These feelings are called by psychologists Ontological Insecurity.
The irony is that in these times and moments we can develop the best ideas, breakthrough arbitrary boundaries and find amazing solutions..This is often the situation at the start of a design project.
