• Explore disruptive methods with respect to sourcing and manufacturing
• Explore disruptive material compositions with consideration of profiling, power distribution etc.
• Provide insights with respect to the limits of construction
• Suggest insights to achieve disruptive savings in energy consumption and on fixed costs

This will be the first stage of the discussion process which would include a week long, on-site engagement.

Skills Required
