Design management. Process Structure

What constitutes the design process? To tackle any intricate procedure effectively, it should initially undergo decomposition, breaking it down into its most fundamental components. The process of designing a novel aquaculture facility can be categorized into the following sequential steps:

1. Conceptualization of the Entire Enterprise:

• Crafting a comprehensive concept for the entire operation.
• Developing a production flowchart.
• Conducting calculations for key technological parameters and determining the necessary spatial requirements.
• Preliminary planning of the building’s configuration.
• Identifying the optimal placement within the facility’s grounds.
• Subdividing the building into distinct workshops. Frequently, this phase is executed during the proposal stage.

2. Development of Primary Workshops:

Performing technological calculations.
Creating a workflow diagram for each workshop.
Selecting appropriate equipment.
Arranging tanks and configuring the workshop layout.
Installing Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) equipment and designing reservoirs within the workshop.

3. Designing a Makeup Water Treatment Facility

4. Designing Utility Spaces:

• Designing technical rooms, locker rooms, bathrooms, administrative spaces, and other necessary amenities. Depending on the facility’s scope, additional spaces like fish processing areas, ventilation chambers, and heating points may also be included.

5. Synthesizing Solutions into a Comprehensive Facility Configuration:

• At this juncture, it is possible to revisit previous stages to ensure alignment among the decisions made.
• All decisions are made in compliance with applicable standards.
• Project documentation, known as the Basic Design, is generated upon the completion of this stage.

This structured approach ensures that the design process for an aquaculture facility is methodical and comprehensive, meeting the necessary standards and requirements.
