difficult, dangerous, costly and
Landmine threats time-consuming. Therefore:
• We introduce the Landmine
detection rats (HERORATs).
• It takes approximately two
months and 50 USD to fully
train a HeroRAT.

their exceptional sense of
smell to detect landmines.

operation with the
government to remove the
landmines nearby the factory.

30. Problem Solution Cost
Terrorist threat Upgrade weaponry and
more experienced & Slightly high as equipment
trained security personal and personnel cost are
high but the quantity
needed is not much,
therefore affordable.
Bomb threat Explosive sniffing dogs
Relatively low as it is easy
to train animals and cost
Landmines Landmine detection rats little due to abundant
(HERORATs) resource of dogs and rats.
31. Pros Cons
•Bigger guns provide more assurance. •Cost is slightly expensive.
•Provide jobs for people who served the
country.
•Provide sense of security on sight. •Might scare the employees.
•Moving detector.
•Cost extremely low. •Take 2 months to train.
•Build better relationship with the
government.
32. Expected Result – Chain effect
• Safety issue solved.
• No/less danger.
• Employee will feel more secured and safe.
• No unnecessary expenses.
• Increase in productivity level.
• Increase in sales revenue in the next 12
months period.
35. Conclusion
• It costs more to cover the unnecessary
expense such as compensation
paid, employees’ healthcare, repairing cost
and others THAN to put these plans into
motions.
• Should the top management decides to
execute these plans, I can assure an increase
of productivity level, which in turn will
improve the gross profit margin in 12 months
period.
