Siddal played an important role in reviewing and developing
optimal design methods. Following are some of the descriptions given by Siddal
regarding optimisation methods:
Optimisation by evolution: Biological
evolution and technological evolution are closely related to each other.
Existing designs are often optimised by organisations in order to make further
improvements in them.
Optimisation by intuition: Intuition can
be termed as an act that enables an organisation to identify the activities to
be performed, without knowing the reason to perform those activities. Despite
having the best of tools and techniques, engineers often take help of intuition
to perform various project activities.
