Another metaphor is to reduce the viscosity of business.

And how could we do better in our approach to pharmaceutical facility design?.We developed a particular set of tools and an approach that over time became what we now refer to as Design to Value.

As we have evolved this approach over the years, we’ve extended it to include many more pharmaceutical engineering projects, as well as a wide range of other sectors, from heavy industry to prisons.. Part of our role is to act as pharmaceutical plant design consultants.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.Collaborating to establish a set of working methods, goals and value drivers creates clarity of purpose from the start.
