Brainstorming chapter

Brainstorming can be quite helpful in developing this treatment plan. So remembering the process for brainstorming (see Chapter 3), have your client generate a wide range of possible goals related to the future, at first without concern... 

After a Research Proposal topic is selected (refer back to the Writing on Your Own task in chapter 11), it is time to specify project goals and objectives. Consider guestions such as these to begin the brainstorming process ... 

This list is not exhaustive, and the design engineers should always brainstorm for additional scenarios and review the results of FMEA, HAZOP, HAZAN, or other process safety analyses (see Chapter 9). 

Figure P32 shows four routes to 2-methylhept-2-ene-6-one, an important synthon for terpenoid preparation. These routes are taken from the schemes shown in Figures 9.6, 9.7, 9.9 and 9.11 in Chapter 9. What is the atom efficiency of each route (For the present purposes, consider only stoichiometric reagents and ignore solvents and catalysts.) If these routes were the result of a brainstorming exercise by your development team, what would be your priority order for testing them out in the laboratory How would this choice be affected by the atom efficiency calculations ...

The concept of division is fundamental for understanding morphological analysis (Chapter 6), but it is also associated with brainstorming. It... 

As in the case of brainstorming, preparations for a Synectics session are in two parts. First, the creative space, or the physical environment for the session, must be created. Chapter 7 provides detailed guidelines on how the creative space for a brainstorming session should be prepared. All these guidelines are also valid for a Synectics session with only small modifications. 

Value Stream Mapping is the written or computer-based identification of the sequence of activities and information flows to produce a product or deliver a service. This represents a vital step in the lean concept because it provides the opportunity for team brainstorming to identify activities that do not add value. Lean practitioners use value stream mapping to identify major sources of non-value-added time in a value stream envision a less wasteful future state and develop an implementation plan for future lean activities. An Addendum providing a Simplified Initial Value Stream Map appears at the end of this chapter.

Ideas means that the search for the best product has begim. This is similar to the brainstorming stage of the problem-solving strategy to be discussed in Chapter 22. Different ideas are identified as to the best possible product to serve the need. 

While the design team is conducting this analysis, you may want to conduct several brainstorming sessions with employees to identify items they consider important to include on the checklist. (Before you begin, you may wish to look ahead to the section on pinpointing in Chapter 21.) When brainstorming, record... 

The first step of the analysis is the hazard identification. This consists of determining which hazards affect the fishing vessel s activities under consideration using brainstorming techniques involving trained and experienced personnel. In the HAZID phase, various safety analysis methods described in Chapter 3 may be used individually or in a combination to identify the potential hazards.
