Synchrotron facilities play a key part in the delivery of world leading science to facilitate research and development across multiple fields. The enabling technology designed by engineers at these facilities is crucial to their success. The highly academic nature of Synchrotron facilities does not always lead to working in the same way as a commercial engineering company. However, are the engineering requirements at Synchrotrons different to commercial companies? Exploring the parallels between research and commercial companies, can we show that the tools and methodologies employed could benefit engineering development at Synchrotrons? This paper provides a theoretical discussion on the commonality between engineering developments at Synchrotron facilities compared to commercial companies. How methodologies such as Design for Six Sigma and in particular tools such as stakeholder analysis, functional tree analysis, FMEA and DoE could be utilised in the design process at Synchrotrons. It also seeks to demonstrate how implementation could aid the development of innovative, robust and efficient design of engineering solutions to meet the ever-increasing demands of our facilities.
