Process engineering and Design to Value, Built Environment Matters podcast with John Dyson, Professor of Human Enterprise at the University of Birmingham

Essential Guide to BIM for DfMA.

Prompted by a thought that many players in this arena are waiting for engineering for technical solutions, there was a conversation about the complexity of the problem..This is a multimodal problem to solve; even though we had suppliers, manufacturers, laboratories, regulators, waste management, academia and design engineers in the room, we accepted not everybody was represented who needs to be.

To move more quickly continued multi-agency conversations and collaborations are needed.. Collaborative problem solving on this scale requires the right skills.Although some great engineers are coming out of universities, the curriculum has not adjusted quickly enough to emerging trends.Students are well-versed in chemical engineering skills; however, equipping them to work across boundaries within organisations, and across organisations to help change happen quickly, seems like a challenge for academia and industry.

Creating courses which span traditional academic bastions seems important, while developing graduates into dynamic, collaborative and imaginative problem solvers is the key challenge for business.. A huge issue that is often ignored, but fundamental to the truism of “reduce” being the most important step in sustainability, is the enormous overproduction, supply, and wastage of drugs in the global ecosystem..Some medicines are manufactured, prescribed, and sold which have little or no positive impact on human health.

There is evidence that medicines commonly prescribed to women do not work.

There is a good deal of published research and perspectives on the oversupply of marginally beneficial, or even harmful, drugs..In this instance, a player owns the factories and designs, pushing out what’s required for the kit-of-parts to consultants, and achieving an output that way.

On the other hand, some contractors don’t want to tell others how to innovate and would prefer to let the innovation ride.They’re looking for ways to bring all of that information together digitally, aiming to get the best out of the innovative companies who are pursuing ways to be smarter all of the time.. Will geography limit DfMA in Australia?.

In terms of Australia’s vast size potentially impacting on DfMA advancement, in actuality, 90% of the population live on the east coast.The current focus is on Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, as well as Perth in the south-west.
