In this CEU-eligible session, Compass Datacenters shares how a prototypical design + closely-coupled supplier partnerships unlock shorter schedules, predictable delivery, and repeatable quality. We’ll explore Compass’ disciplined approach to continuous improvement, commitment to a manufacturing mindset, quality control measures, and long-term supplier relationships, enabling faster ROI for precasters.  We’ll also discuss how this foundation supports lower-carbon concrete and other sustainable outcomes that reduce environmental impact valued by hyperscale customers. Wells will share what precasters need to do differently to thrive in this model and how to start the shift from transactional relationships to partnerships for better outcomes including safety, sustainability and quality.

Learning Objectives:

•                     Understand the drivers for data center developers; shorter schedules, predictable delivery, and repeatable quality
•                     Identify design for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA) principles for product development including disciplined change management and outcome-based specifications
•                     Understand what’s required to establish mutually beneficial partnerships that deliver safety, sustainability and quality.
•                     How leveraging proven manufacturing techniques and adopting a mfg mindset is necessary in the fast-changing data center industry.
