 |
Effective Solutions We find that most clients, while having good problem-solving
methods, find it difficult not to compromise the answer with a known equipment based
solution;
One of BDC's fundamental methods is to separate the
"WHATs" from the "HOWs".
This simple technique allows a free reign to
problem-solving without becoming encumbered with equipment based solutions and allows a
clear set of generic system requirements to be developed prior to equipment supplier
involvement. |

Baggage Handling |
Many things may force change within a modern airport or airline,
including:-
- Increasing passenger numbers.
- Extra international flights.
- Security legislation.
- Equipment service life.
How do you ensure that the new systems will be cost
effective or will be more efficient than the existing systems?
Suppliers may propose solutions which appear to meet your
requirements but it is likely that the proposed solutions will involve heavy investment in
the supplier's goods and services and therefore most profitable for the supplier.
In-house solutions may not be objective because often the
team may be too close to the problem. They may also remove the design responsibility from
the supplier who will then just "do what you asked them to". |
