Industrial project definition

Industry services: Initiating an industrial project and defining its scope
It’s a strategic approach which brings in investment analysis, capex and opex strategy as well as broader considerations about supply chain robustness and resilience and sustainable operations.
You may be wanting to increase production, enter a new market, decarbonise production. The project may be a response to a new opportunity identified by the board, focused on the food or energy transition, or reducing opex.

Whatever the starting point, a broad exploration of the motivation, issues and opportunities alongside possible technical solutions is a vital first stage to secure long-term project success.
What is industrial project definition?
Industrial project definition forms part of an approach which moves from strategy to tactics. While strategic in focus, it identifies key issues and risks for detailed analysis. At Haskoning, we use four key indicators for the successful development of a new project: flexibility, efficiency, speed and sustainability.Drawing on strategic consulting experience and technological insight, the definition phase explores questions such as what, why, how and where for your project. It helps you understand the opportunities, not only in the market but in respect of innovation in approach, equipment, technology, digitalisation and automation. It may extend to supply chain roadmaps.

Why do you need to define the project?
The definition phase is a cost-effective starting point that results in a wide-ranging overview where risks are identified and addressed. A 360-degree examination of all possibilities and opportunities ensures nothing is missed.It sets the direction for optimising capex and opex, improving efficiency and driving investment returns. A well-defined project improves the project outcome, ensuring you get value for money, increased efficiency and a future-proof solution.
