PROJECT:
Each Project is a separately funded work unit with Integrated Research & Implementation
RESEARCH & IMPLEMENTATION
INFORMATION SYSTEM: Research System
All projects commence with an information phase in which problems and issues are
formalized as a specification. The appropriate theories and concepts are identified
and a preliminary conceptual design produced together with project requirements
for data collection and analysis which is then the starting point for physical design.
PHYSICAL SYSTEM: Practice System
The project specification and conceptual design has to be converted into a physical design
which requires analysis of implementation alternatives and the material, personnel, plant
and schedule constraints. When the best alternative is identified the physical design is
developed and converted into production information (CAD > CAM, Shop drawings etc).
The construction phase then commences, followed by acceptance testing and operation with
data collection and analysis.
Each physical stage provides feedback to the information system closing the ‘figure of eight cycle’
and if necessary instigating a further refinement cycle in which both the information and physical systems are improved and evolve.
