Other challenges include
Resource recycling
Energy conservation
Energy storage
Alternative energy
1. Design for Safety
Acceptable risk
Residual risk
Risk assessment
Potential risk
Hazard
Inherent Safety Strategies

(& Intrinsic Safety)
Minimize.use smaller quantities of hazardous substances
( Minimize storage/inventory,pipe sizes,vessel sizes,buffer capacities.
It significantly reduced fire & explosion index, risk index, etc.)
Substitute. replace a material with less hazardous substance
Moderate .use less hazardous form/conditions for using substances
(liquid/solid/pellet/pastes)
Simplify.design processes & facilities to avoid unnecessary
complexity that are tolerant to human error.
Layer protection.equipment can fail and people can make
mistakes,
whatever training is undertaken. Build safety at
designing stage is
desired in layers.
Intensification of processes.high intensity mixers, spinning disks,
compact exchangers, micro reaction technology, structured
catalyst and better control.
The probability of accidents is to be reduced and ultimately eliminated
If an accident can happen it will !
2. Sustainable Development
Sustainable development is the development that meets the

needs of the present generation without comprising the
ability of future generation to meet their own needs.
Sustainable development is not a fixed state of harmony,

but a process of change in which the exploitation of
resources, direction of investment and the orientation of
technology are constituent with the present & future.
Some of the drivers for sustainable development are

Environmental issues
Socio-economic issues
Typical Examples for Sustainability

Use of high chimneys to avoid acidic flue gases.
CFC effects ozone layer replaced with HFC
MTBE replaced in gasoline instead of TEL.
Today the Technology has to deal with different system levels, e.g.
Sr.

Similarly the issues of Environment, Ergonomic
Design & Development is the focus of Research and
Development.
The availability of new technology, measurement
techniques and customers demand is leading to
Research & Development to enhance suppliers
capability.

Men, Money, Machines & Information
2. Manufacturing Processes
3. Innovations
4. Research and Development
1.
1(a). Human Resource (Men)
Proper Education & Training is desired.
1(b). Financial Resource

The
money supply in the country has been

irregular.
The financial institutions are not mature as
that in the region.
The Government procedure are too
cumbersome.
1(c). Machines & Information
2. Manufacturing Processes
3-4. Innovations and R & D

Research
on indigenous problems.
Solution oriented innovations.
New development based on research.

Changing Role of Design Engineer

1.
Product development is a cross-functional knowledge-intensive

work that has become increasingly important in the fast-paced
globally competitive environment.
2.
The traditional role of design engineers in product development

was limited to technical design decision. As product development
efforts use cross-functional teams and knowledge sharing, the
Design Engineers are required to do more and to know more.
3.
As a firm shifts towards integrated product development, the

functions (R & D, marketing, engineering and manufacturing
etc) operate in a collaborative manner. Barriers to
communication are removed, Knowledge is properly transferred
and complex problems are resolved in a timely manner.

Some of factors that contribute to a

unique opportunity for Pakistan are:
Hardworking,
educated cheap human
resources.
Liberal financial policies for investment.
Software Design through establishment of
Design Centres/ Companies.
Fabrication of equipment at significantly
cheap rates.
Way Ahead
Equip the human resource with the desired technical

knowledge and skills
Provide opportunity of work in the country through local
and international collaboration.
Establish design and development capabilities in the
country (like design centers being established in India,
China and far east)
Development of pro-active approach in all domains with
proper legislation for effective quality assurance and safe
operating opportunities for continuous development.
