She knows there will be resistance and thinks we’ve got to start thinking about things to be able to combat issues like old thinking, processes, contracts, scopes, and procurement methodologies.. “We've got to be able to highlight the dissatisfaction, show people there's a potential vision up.
The critical chain ran through Integration Strategy (1.)and Design Sprint (2.).
The actual tasks for Integrating Strategy were very tricky to tie down.This included understanding the design space which would bring together modular design coordination between process blocks and utilities, whole plant build sequence, process scale and duplication; and the evolution of the ‘platform’ that would meet the business needs in the future.The approach we took for this was to plan a time of iteration between process, engineering, systemisation, and business focused expertise, assessing the Last Responsible Moment for drawing this activity to a close.
This would allow time for the Design Sprints to deliver the integrated design to the required definition at the end of the study..The design sprints themselves were appropriately segmented, cognisant of the fact that the final sprint should be quicker as more of the outstanding questions would have been generically answered..
Many of the deliverables (3.)
could be sequenced traditionally and could be tracked.It would be impossible to get the required supply chain capacity for the required design, manufacture, and construction capabilities.. What we need is a fundamental rethink with regards to the future of coal and how nuclear facilities are conceived, designed, procured, and delivered.
Instead of approaching this task as thousands of individual refurbishments, we need to have a unified approach where the design is simplified and standardised in such a way that a much wider range of designers, manufacturers and contractors can participate, and the design knowledge is embedded in building systems and design tools so that everyone involved can benefit from the learning on all the other projects.. To achieve this, we are working with Terra Praxis and their wider team, including specialists from MIT, University at Buffalo, Microsoft and KPMG, to:.Reduce, rationalise, standardise and optimise the building and engineering systems that are needed for a refurbished plant, in order to.
Reduce, rationalise, standardise and optimise the design, approval, manufacture, assembly and operation processes, in order to.Reduce, rationalise, standardise and optimise the interactions between the required different supply chain organisations, to realise the processes described above at the scale that is required.. Terra Praxis are creating a business model that uses technology to connect people, organisations, and resources in an interactive ecosystem in which value can be created and exchanged.
