The
issue- We do a lot
of things over and over...and it makes no sense
to re-invent the
wheel...there is constant pressure to be more efficient, or
even
better, more effective...
The obvious answer is to develop design
standards...if nothing else, they
provide a starting point to generate
the required discussions to arrive at a
Client specific
solution...
Design Expertise- In theory, we are experts in our
field...this expertise is
based on specific experience with facilties
types and industry
expectations...we know what goes into these
buildings, how they work,
what they need, even what comes
out...
Design
Model- Ultimately,
this means we should be able to design a
facility with no more than a
one or two sentence functional description...
For
example...
"Design a cell culture fermentation-
purification facility based on a small
scale (1,200 liter)
fermenter..."
Beyond this description, we
shoiuld be able to produce every other
aspect of the
design...obviously, this does not include Client specific
requirments
which are essentailly undefined...
Design Standards- what would this standard solution
look like? what
document would constitiute the starting point...what
details would
complete the project defintion?...
The project
Prototype...this should be fun...
