Journal Entry For
Module 3 - Project Goals Targets & Strategies

List your three or four guiding design goals using this format for each goal:

Goal 1: “Near 0” waste manufacturing facility

  • Goals
  1. Design a near closed-loop process flow
  2. Design monitoring and automation workflow that enables GMP process reliability
  3. Define energy key performance drivers and model (e.g. lightening, heating, pumps, equipment performance capacity)
  • Measures & Targets:

Respective Measures and Target Values

  1. structural schema – min 70% increase - max 100% increase in Nero 0 waste manufacturing capacity (measured in kg/batch, l/batch of waste)
  2. automation schema – 0 % risk level for breaches in product quality and 0% risk level in asset and personnel security (measured in failure probability levels without full-cover mitigation plans). Due to GMP no ranges are permissible.
  3. energy consumption/re-generation (min -0% increase in energy consumption, max. 25% additional energy consumption increase to a standard process).
  • Strategies:

      • The main benefit of this project is to offer an integrated Excel-to-Revit simple and reliable performance model that translates easily key operational, structural and architectural interdependencies. The excel model should contain an assumption sheet about the manufacturing set-up, simulation sheet about the different design strategies, and output sheet specifying the preferred design option to be visualized in Revit. The strategic decision making should focus on the following performance drivers:

    1. structural schema – simulating piping splits (mass balance sensitivities), equipment sizing, material lining analysis
    2. automation schema – simulating increase in in-line sensors, automation controls and back-up systems
    3. energy consumption/re-generation – gravity optimization of equipment across levels, pump re-sizing and remodeling, bigger windows (new glassing technologies, solar panels, sourcing energy suppliers), balance between automation and manual controls.
