We look at what is likely to happen, the capacity different countries have to make different vaccines, and how such factors would affect the global supply.Understanding the picture in this way allows us to make decisions at an early stage about what we might do, should certain circumstances arise.
In this instance, we could decide in advance how we might react to a vaccine becoming available, and get it out to people quickly.. As the Factory in a Box project demonstrated, there are elements which are standardised across projects.For example, they all need hygienic spaces, so we can make sure the hygienic components will be available regardless of the situation with projects.Components could be ready to deliver very quickly.
As soon as you start to model and gain understanding, opportunities and outcomes become apparent, even in times of great uncertainty.This reality enables us to add value to the process..
The benefits of adopting a process engineering approach.
Adopting a Design to Value approach is achievable.This allows us to work with clients to standardise procurement, through a prearranged supply chain with stockholding, if necessary, of pre-agreed capital plant and equipment.
It enables speed of installation through on-site assembly of prefabricated and pre-assembled parts in a safe and controlled manner.And given the nature of data centres, they lend themselves particularly well to this approach, where standardisation of the end-user product is paramount.. DfMA brings precisely the reliability, predictability and speed to market that our data centre clients want and benefit from..
Creating sustainable data centres.The biggest environmental impact of data centres is in their use of power and water for cooling, but they are also heavy in terms of embedded carbon.
