Discuss each element of the example plan provided and indicate benefits each section activity provides in helping to manage risk with the mechanical and electrical subcontractors on a project.   After reviewing the sample plan discuss the benefits of of the activities defined in the subsections that help manage risks with mechanical and electrical subcontractors.   Please be as detailed as possible  and thank you in advance for your help.

Why is it important for inventors to value IP at the ideation stage of development? valuation will help the inventor decide if the IP right is commercialisable. an innovative idea will sell irrespective of the cost and price the inventor must declare the estimated value in the patent documentation to establish tangible asset value of the firm

a. Select a type of product that would have versions in all four quadrants in the style-versus-technology design chart (see Focus On Innovation). Show the four versions of the product, and clearly explain why you think they fall into their specific quadrants. b. Imagine you are tasked with designing a coffee maker that would be marketable to cafés around the globe. Conduct research on coffee makers to determine a set of global, social, environmental, and economic issues you would have to consider as you begin the design process. (This is essentially part of the preparation phase in product archaeology, see Focus on Product Archaeology.)  

In the context of the engineering design process, what do engineers need to fully understand before they move forward with the design request

Question 2: Briefly define engineering design process. Also describe what disadvantages we can have if the relevant engineering design standard is not followed.

Foxconn operates a network of factories across the Chinese mainland employing 1.2 million people, that makes products for tech companies that include Apple, Hewlett Packard, and Dell. The electronics manufacturing giant has been on a steady course for a while to replace man power with robotic systems. “Foxconn (has) vowed to install up to 1 million robots in its factories over the next three years, which analysts suggested was in part to address long-time scandals such as high suicide rates among employees and exploitation of workers.” Foreign manufacturers in China are also viewing upgrades as vital to their operations in the country. In fact, numerous multinational companies have recognized the long-term benefits of replacing human labor with robots. 1- Many companies outsourced their manufacturing activities to Foxconn due to its low labor costs. Does Foxconn’s shift to automation make it likely that some of those companies will reconsider outsourcing in favor of shifting to…

Jeff was just hired by GSI, Inc. to be their Environmental and Safety Coordinator.  This is Jeff's first position after completing his engineering degree.  He had taken a course in safety engineering as part of his studies and felt confident that he could handle the job. Management at GSI, Inc. has assured him that they are committed to maintaining a safe workplace.  They have never had an individual dedicated to this task full-time.  They will implement his recommendations if he can justify them. As Jeff begins to get familiar with the operations, he spends considerable time on the production floor.  He notices workers clean their tools before break with a liquid from an unmarked 55-gallon drum.  They also use this liquid to clean residue from their skin.  They use paper towels to dry their tools and hands, throw these towels in the trash, and head to the break room for a snack and/or smoke. In talking with the workers, Jeff learns of some of their concerns.  Several people mention…
