The drug was in development and GSK wanted to get the product to market as quickly as possible..When trying to accelerate a product to market, it’s important not to tie things down too early.

Unexpected things often happen in development, which affect the outcome.It’s important to stay flexible.Using Chips enabled the success of the Parma project, and structural modelling also enabled design simplification and a quicker timescale.

The project was completed in just 18 months and awarded ISPE facility of the year.. We also successfully created something we called a Factory in a Box pharmaceutical facility.It was built with eight Ghurkas from components delivered in shipping containers.

The Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) project answered an important question for large companies wondering how to build high-quality facilities in emerging markets, quickly and efficiently, with varied local capability.

It also addressed the desire to use that investment to improve skills and capabilities in the local area.The need for these tools is on the rise as design and construction continue to tackle some of the largest issues an industry could face: low and declining productivity, poor predictability, shrinking workforce and skills shortages.

Other industries have been able to embrace new approaches and technologies to see continual year-on-year increases in labour productivity and other areas.As we move towards the future, construction firms will need to embrace construction automation and MMC, to create positive transformation in the industry.. Case study: DES for analysis of automated truss fabrication.

Recently, Bryden Wood has collaborated with Tata Steel and the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) on the FASTtruss project for automated design and fabrication of steel truss assemblies, for medium-to-large-span buildings.A truss is an assembly, typically made from timber or steel, which forms part of the structural frame of a building.
