This allows us to achieve the scale and speed of refurbishments that are required..

Clearly, it is fine to narrow down a set of options on a rational basis.But if it's simply that we don't have time, we are at risk of staying away from the optimum solution.

That means more cost and more time which, ultimately, is going to affect the patient who is at the end of that supply chain.As a result, these are particularly important factors to consider in the design and construction of pharmaceutical facilities..In summary, Chips allow us many different perspectives on parts of a project.

And crucially, they provide the common language for communication between all the different people involved in executing that project..Improving pharmaceutical facility design with Chips, generative design and automation.

We are now using chips as the basis of generative designs to allow us to automate the design process.

In this context, generative design means using computers to assemble designs based on a set of rules, components and input parameters.Exploring the MMC toolkit: from offsite construction to PPVC and beyond.

MMC is the collective term for the innovative construction methods that can be deployed by the DfMA designer.MMC can be considered as the DfMA designer’s “toolkit”.

The DfMA designer finds the most suitable innovations in the MMC toolkit (or develops new innovations) to meet a project’s unique challenges..There are many construction innovations that can be considered MMC.
