conceptualization and considerations can begin once objectives are defined and constraints identified.

Objectives that a design may strive to meet include:
:*Throughput rate
:*Process yield
:*Product purity

Constraints include:
:*Capital cost: investment required to implement the design including cost of new equipment and disposal of obsolete equipment.
:*Available space: the area of land or room in building to place new or modified equipment.
