6. Evaluate your options
The developed concept design options must be evaluated to ensure that the objectives are
achieved. The two common approaches to assessment are:
a) Quantitative analysis:
Return on investment, payback, cost per order to supply, cost per cubic metre to name
just a few.
b) Qualitative analysis:
Reviewing the advantages and disadvantages of options considered. Ideally the
evaluation is best performed both individually and in a team workshop environment. It‘s
amazing what can be revealed when a team collectively focuses its attention at a project. Despite
the meticulous job the designer may have performed, a workshop can often reveal a late insight,
idea, or missed detail that can significantly impact upon the end design.
7. Consult Widely
The design process is multifaceted, and normally involves executives, managers, and
operators – not to mention equipment suppliers, builders, architects, and councils. As part of the
development process all should be regularly consulted as to planning and legal requirements,
operational needs, preferences, ideas and opinions. In my experience, no one party has all the
background and
knowledge to implement a DC project
. The best implementations typically
feature a cohesive and dedicated team charged with managing the project from early design
phases through to completion.
