Abstract

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a novel methodology in the design and performance enhancement of a regulation-compliant Ballast Water Management (BWM) System, where three methodologies were integrated in the process. The application of the multi-functional framework of classical Axiomatic Design (AD) in developing a design matrix was firstly modified using the influence of the Software–Hardware–Environment–Liveware interaction concept to factor all the system's interacting elements into the solution design. The BWM Convention was used as a guide to identify the requirements for the proposed system design. The identified AD couplings in the design matrix were then analysed using Sufield technique; a concept of Altshuler's Theory of Inventive Problem Solving. The design's most promising performance enhancement pathways were subsequently determined and prioritised.
