I have tried to summarise the above in simple terms to illustrate how the DfMA landscape can be viewed in the context of the industry.. DfMA is a design approach that considers ways to efficiently construct buildings by manufacturing and assembling their constituent parts..
Chips are the smallest meaningful part of the processes that make up a supply chain.Chips are sets of interacting or interdependent components, plus all the data that goes into them.
They bring to life all data and stakeholder knowledge in one place, using a common language, so that everyone can understand every aspect.. Chips become the building blocks for our design.They also become the building blocks for conversations between the people dealing with business strategy and those people dealing with design and implementation of the pharmaceutical engineering project.. We start off with the analysis of the business problem and then generate design elements.Chips will often appear as 3D models, but that's not what they are.
They are the embodiment of a system.The core purpose of the project drives the analysis that informs the selection of Chips..
Defining Chips for the project.
At a point in each project, we go through the process of defining Chips for that project, in order to develop a Chip library.This is a very good example of how evidence underpins our approach to design.. Stakeholders and sources of evidence included:.
Serving and former prison governors, staff and prisoners.Prisoner support groups, including the Prison Advice and Care Trust.
Policy staff and academics from across Europe.A review of other models of incarceration and a comprehensive literature review relating to carceral geography.
