Heading Title 1

Identifying areas for improvement

Phil is concerned about the sandbagging solution that Dorothy talked about in their discussion. This doesn’t sound like a very good system to him. He decides to do a bit of research into how other plants handle this kind of situation.

Phil comes across the idea of an automatic diversion system. This sounds like a better idea. Some systems divert the waste automatically when changes are recorded in the pH or when certain materials are detected in the waste. Others operate manually, with a switch to divert the waste.

What would be the best step for Phil to take next?

<ol type="a"> <li>Tell Dorothy he thinks a diversion system could be a good idea for FTP Foods.</li> <li>Phone the local newspaper and tell them about the possibility of an environmental disaster at the plant.</li> <li>Do nothing, it's someone elses problem.</li> <li>Do more research and with Dorothy's and his supervisors approval request to make a presentation to the companies management.</li> </ol> <h4>Feedback:</h4> <ol type="a"> <li>It would be a good idea to let Dorothy know about this idea.</li> <li>This would be inappropriate. Phil needs to focus on helping to put a better system in place.</li> <li>If Phil can make suggestions about better ways of doing things, he should.</li> <li>This is a good idea and could lead to a real improvement for the company.</li> </ol>
