- Abstract
- Design is a complex process involving the reconciliation of competing objectives and constraints, and is a major determinant of project success. Decisions that are made at early phases, including project initiation studies, the design contract, and basic engineering, have the highest influence on the project. These decisions and other constraints form input variables to design. Over 50 input variables were identified during the research effort that is the basis of this publication.
