This will be about the industrialisation of wind, wave, water, solar power; industrialisation of energy saving, carbon-capture and energy storage.
We want to have a Design to Value process which achieves exactly what is desired..Tier 1 and the supply chain.
Another benefit we see from DfMA construction is the evolution of a more direct relationship between the customer and their supply chain partners, cutting down on transactional costs and eliminating a lot of inefficiency.The contractor’s role becomes more profitable and sophisticated – what we refer to as a manufacturing assembly manager.We believe that going forward this role will put more effort into controlling logistics, supply chain etc… In fact, roles throughout the supply chain will change, becoming more efficient and more focused on driving value.. Meeting the needs of our clients.
Over the years, we’ve come to recognise a wide variety of client drivers, including cost, time, net present value, capital and funding decisions.For some clients, accuracy in delivery is the most important thing.
For others, such as the UK’s busiest airport, Heathrow, the biggest benefit arises from having the fewest number of people on site and the fastest possible delivery.
What this means is that ultimately there are many different forms of P-DfMA which are appropriate.. With Platform construction (P-DfMA), we’ve attempted to take everything we’ve learned in our client work and embed it in a set of components that clients and the industry more generally can benefit from.These suppliers will also be publishing details of their pipelines and capabilities, enabling you to plan your project precisely.
Moreover, as all of these standardised components will be inexpensive, we don’t believe we’ll be costing solely on pure, capital costs.There will also be a focus on other factors: the carbon footprint of the individual manufacturer, what they spend on R&D, staff welfare, and so on.
Consequently, we will be looking for added value from our manufacturers, and this will change how we think about the procurement process going forwards..In fact, we think it’s likely the procurement process will suddenly become more akin to a model like Amazon.
