WORKSHOP LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• 1. Identify Experimental Development (ED) in
  Shop Floor Setting or Plant Setting.
• 2. Identify what work/plant trials can be
  claimed as part of ED project.
• 3. Determine if the eligible plant trials
  involve EP or CP/ED.
• 4. Determine what should be claimed for ED
  project (labour, materials, capital) using the
  proxy method.
