Abstract: This paper outlines the process, and provides an insight into the best practices that were implemented throughout the course of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project undertaken to develop an innovative Machine Room Less (MRL) lift system. The particular attention on Knowledge Transfer Partnerships, project management, composite materials, design process and new technology allows for evaluation of the effectiveness of the KTP scheme.
