I love solving problems, particularly if they save energy, reduce waste, improved operating and/or environmental conditions and basically get more output for less input.

Douglas Marsh's Problem Solving Experience:
- I have designed and developed a pumping plant speed control concept that satisfies end of system pressure in all pumping conditions with no transducer feedback to reduce leakage and energy consumption.
- I have developed an asset health review process that enables a balanced scorecard display that is driving down the cost of owning a fleet of assets whilst service performance is increasing.
- I have developed an integrated physical asset management map that has helped identify areas of process overlap, gaps and wasted effort in different asset intensive industry sectors.
- I have co-designed water treatment plant failsafe systems that prevent a plant from pumping untreated water into supply in multiple failure event scenarios.
- I developed a patient pathway (healthcare) process mapping technique and combined it with a risk management process to graphically represent areas of high risk. The result was a fundamental review of working processes and procedures that has reduced risks to patients, staff and the hospital.
- I reviewed a proposed water treatment plant design that was going to cost £4.2m (uk sterling). I challenge design criteria and build assumptions which resulted in a final build cost of £1.6m.
- I have designed a toriodal water cooled and graphite oxygen burner mounting plate and shield with an operational life in excess of 6 months to replace a water cooled box design that catastrophically failed on a weekly basis.
