Our industry-leading approach to MMC has developed over the years to consider ways to maximise the productivity of both off-site and on-site construction works to achieve better project outcomes for our clients.. Much of our thinking has been published on our website, particularly in our series of books about Construction Platforms, including the recently updated.
Those who joined us came from several leading pharmaceutical companies united, in part by a frustration that the world cannot see an opportunity that to some seems so obvious and enticing: -.The combination of process intensification, modularity and automation could transform the industrialisation, commercialisation, sustainability of, and access to, small molecule medicines..
The potential benefits of deploying these platforms are huge.Modelling deployment over a 10-year period demonstrates the opportunity of billions in improved cashflow from the reduction in capital wastage and the delivery of products more quickly to market.Developing more secure supply chains which can respond with agility to disruption.
At a manufacturing level they can deliver more reliable quality with lower complexity and cost, while driving operations significantly closer to net-zero….However, on the day we consciously parked any “solution mode” and the morning was spent discussing barriers: -.
see what we see?”.
These can broadly be clustered as follows:.Supplier component data/technical characteristics e.g.
maximum span and the interface between components and sub-assemblies.A series of span tables were embedded in the library for The Forge to provide quantities for concrete and reinforcement, based on slab performance requirements including: fire separation, acoustic separation, loading and vibration performance and spans/grids.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.Construction will become more systems based: as an industry we are fragmented and siloed, this will help us break out from these and collaborate with shared data..
