Considerations for Right-Sizing:.

So it’s a great time to be in it.Within Bryden Wood I don’t feel that there are any blockers.

I have felt it in other companies that I’ve worked, but no.I think there are enough [female] role models at very very senior levels that there aren’t any blockers within it..There are enough examples of extremely great women out there who are doing some really really great things, that people don’t see it as men and women, just your colleagues, and that’s where we’ve needed to get to and I think that’s where we’re at.. To a young woman considering a role in engineering, I would say, ‘do it.’ It will take you wherever you want to go.

If you want to stay local to your area, you can.There are enough opportunities out there to stay local.

But, if you want to travel the world, it will also give you that ability.

You can make it however you want.The model was able to support several assumptions made for the design of the process, such as the allowances for buffers and painting bays.

Additionally, the model could show that the system was sensitive to assumptions made for travel time of materials between stations, but that the different production schedules and variation in process time only resulted in slight variations in results.. With this simulation able to rapidly test multiple options and scenarios, the model can continue to be used to test further sensitivities in the process or be expanded to include even more of the system.This could include raw material handling, truss packing and shipping, or even wider in the supply chain.. Long term changes supported by simulation and automation.

This type of project demonstrates how simulation can support automation in construction, providing dynamic time-based results to design teams and stakeholders to aid in their decision making – particularly highlighting how and where automated processes can provide the biggest benefit for process or cost.As part of the wider construction industry, these types of approaches will be able to support the large changes that will need to occur within the next decade.
