Rushing off into a new capital project of any size is a mistake. If you are the lead engineer, your first thing you need is an understanding of the project, an understanding that is bought into by your customer, mill production. How do you get this cooperative understanding of the project? You write what is called a "design basis." I have been writing these for over fifty years. They are vital to a successful project.
