Details of Engineered Solutions
According to Stephen Carson, executive vice-president of Visibility Corporation, “Rule-based generation of product structures, costs, and pricing, must be delivered in a flexible guided interface through the use of embedded workflow. The embedded workflow allows for integrations with quoting, order entry, and engineering delivering efficient data entry and reliable generation of configured-to-order items.”
According to manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, in a recent issue of Tooling & Production, “In the past, engineered solutions required lengthy bid generation process before the fabricator or tooling manufacturer could deliver a strong response to a proposal request. Interaction between engineering and manufacturing was hindered based on the lack of system tools and lack of integration between CAD and ERP systems; this all impacted speed to customer response and generated internal disconnects between engineering and manufacturing. When project-based tooling manufacturers are not configuring from a preset mix of common components, the need for a collaborative environment becomes extremely important to design to the customers specifications.”

Cutler added, “Given the regulatory environment in which manufacturers currently operate, these engineering cost-savings facilitate compliance with company, legislative, industry, quality, and design requirements.”

I need a concluding paragraph for this essay.?
Wetlands preservation
The wetlands are found in southern Louisiana. Wetlands are exceedingly beneficial to the ecosystem. They provide flood control, water purification, storm buffers, wildlife habitats, and recreational areas. In the past 200 years, the wetlands have been decreasing at substantial rates. The reason why this is happening is, because of human activates.
My idea to help the preservation of the wetlands is to pump in a mixture of sand and large rocks in the ground, where oil is pumped out. I chose this because humans have been removing billions of barrels of oil and gases from the wetlands. These resources support the weight of the land beneath the wetlands. Without any support, the ground sinks, this leads to the loss of wetlands. This process is called subsidence.
As I said before my idea could help to slow down the subsidence. When the mixture is pumped under the ground it will harden. This will support the ground above, so the land can’t sink. The engineering solution wouldn’t be very hard. So I believe the plan would be passed by the Coastal Wetland Planning, Protection, and Restoration Act.
The economical side on my idea is acceptable. The plan is very inexpensive. The sand and rocks can be bought from countries that have deserts with no inhabitants. Scientists can do researches on the idea and check if the mixture will add any pollution to the wetlands. The time for the whole project will be about 5-7 years. These are all the details for my idea.
In conclusion, preserving the wetlands is a concern that all of us should share to keep our natural resources intact. Subsidence is just one way that we can work to protect this necessary and vital part of our environment. Why not give some thought as to what you could do to help keep America beautiful?
