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.
