Holistic Engineering
Holistic engineering involves an integrated and comprehensive approach to the design, development and optimisation of systems, taking into account not only technical aspects but also factors such as environmental sustainability, ethics and social impact. Holistic engineering is the science of creating solutions that consider the interrelationship of all parts of a whole, privileging contextualisation beyond the analytical line; generality over specialisation.
For example, the planning of a new facility using holistic engineering follows the conventional and normative procedures, from feasibility studies to design and implementation according to the best standards. When specialisation has reached its endpoint, the task becomes one of assessing the characteristics of these endpoints, their interrelationships and expected performance indicators using a range of probabilistic and contextual tools. Professionals from different disciplines and levels of experience contribute to this stage. A biologist, for example, can make valuable contributions related to biomimetics (solutions and products based on natural processes); a geologist can come up with ideas related to better use of soil; a psychologist can contribute to the quality of life of employees; even someone from the maintenance department can contribute with an ingenious idea. As a result, a project delivers better long-term results; positive integration with the environment, employees, customers, stakeholders, profitability and legacy.
