For this first assignment the collaboration will be limited to internet searches to identify the
scope of service these companies provide

6. The syllabus in details. eBook chapters 1, and 2, and see the videos too... also, very useful.

7. Now a bit more about your company (this is the 5th company): As you will see, although this is an
educational experience, we'll play the game for real (within our virtual dream worlds...) because I would
like you to become Chief Engineers and engineering management-focused CEOs helping to green the
world... eventually... and many of you will... just work hard at it... it will happen! So, this is what I need
from you, about 100-150 words on each topic as shown below:

o Your company's Strategic Plan - with a CE/PLM with a lean, green sustainable

EXECUTIVE SUMMARUY
THE PLAN:
The Virtual Company will be named Pneumatics. In an attempt to keep it simple
the products will be air actuated cylinders used in industrial automation. The
product requires machining, finishing, raw materials, sub-assemblies final
assembly and quality testing.
For this first assignment the collaboration is limited to internet searches to identify the scope of
service and collaboration necessary from the four companies provided in the eLearning packet.
 Another step in the process will be to perform a GAP Analysis comparing the current
processes and environment to the expected planned environment.
The strategic paln is to provide a state of the art robotoc actuator capabil of intergratoing into
automated systems throughout the industrial automation indiustries. The product will be
manufactuered with High Quality and durability as the cornerstone of the product. It will
furthermore be provided at a competitive cost but of greater overall prduvct value to the highly
competitive automation market place.
o The company's Strategic Plan - with a CE/PLM with a lean, green sustainable

The implementation of green technologies, here too are provided in the way of information and digital
copy of key information for both Green Technologies and key components of leading edge Product
Lifecycle Management. In this area of manufacturing, the most important topic is Hazardous Materials,
and the disposal of, as well as Emissions issues in the way of VoCs, Volatile Organic Compounds' and
the impact on Indoor | Outdoor Air Quality.

o focus: The Green technologies that will be investigated for the machining processes will
be on the environmental side of the machining process, e.g. aqueous cutting fluid,
recycling of machine waste and environmental friendly finishing processes ie powder
coating, etc.

======================

o At this stage only an approximate Budget(s) - Think of a startup company and try to
estimate how much cash and resources you need to take off. Think of a 1 to 3 year plan.
A simple and estimated budget should usually be broken down by department to insure
accountability and authority for managers. This allows them to get things done and have
the resources they need to grow their departments as necessary. It also sets them up to
have the respect of their people and prevents major cash flow "surprises".

o Keep Performance Indicators Metrics to be Tracked- with a CE/PLM and Green focus:

These are the metrics tracked over time in your company, that allow daily, weekly,
quarterly and annual specific goals to be set and measured. Tracking, that has ratios
(not just absolute numbers) are strongly recommended, but these are always specific to
a particular company.

o Management By Objectives - with a CE/PLM and Green focus: Your company needs a
set of specific milestones and goals for monthly, quarterly and annual objectives.
Without these there is no way everyone in the organization is pulling in the same
direction and therefore lots of time and money will be wasted. Most executives and
managers should be able to generate these and also review them with the team as
monthly staff meetings to avoid communications issues. Good managers spend 50% of
 their time improving the business, not working in the day-to-day details. This is what
creates competitive advantage and a rising company value and multiple.

o Key Processes - with a Sustainable GREEN PLM/ CE focus:

o The key processes in your company must be agreed to as the business gets its value
proposition and delivery down, especially when these processes are part of the core
value and competitive advantage. These include your sales process, your R&D, your
digital design and manufacture, PLM, etc. processes and your customer delivery
process(es). These are often very ad hoc early on, but they must be more formalized as
the business grows, as it's complexity increases and as customer legacy issues hinder
forward progress. IMPORTANT here: Conformance to eco-standards, meaning: Does the
product conform to national / international greenhouse emission standards? What is
the carbon footpront of the product, process or service? How can this be reduced? Is
this a sustainable lean and green product / process? You must convince me, I represent
your venture capitalists / angels who will support your startup! More

o There is one more thing I would like to ask you to do for explaining your company's (i.e.
the 5th company's) Sustainable Green focus. Please go on the web, Google YouTube,
and then in the field at the top type in 'Paul Ranky' (this is a search field and you'll find
it easily). It will show you over 120+ links to short video clips I put up on YouTube. The
goal of this part of the assignment is for you to findany 6 short clips on Paul Ranky,
YouTube that deal with marine life, (i.e. diving) and use those clips to convince your
virtual board of directors and shareholders, that your 5th company MUST NOT POLLUTE
the world, in ANY ways, ANY time... it MUST BE SUSTAINABLE AND GREEN; not just
sustainable... but green too... these video clips show pristine marine eco-systems that
must not be destroyed by greed, incompetence, or human error... Thanks; this will put
your company on the map! Well done!To document this, please write a specific
statement about your company, how you will prevent any toxic waste or pollution to be
generated and released into any eco-system (land, sea, river, or air) in about 250
words. Please make sure you reference the 6 videos you have chosen from Paul
Ranky, YouTube by putting in their individual filenames, and/or with hyperlinks to
YouTube if you have a web-page at this stage already for your assignment. (If you don't
have a web-page yet, please add the hyperlinks to the Paul Ranky, YouTube dive video
clips you have selected later, but definitely in Assignment 5.) Thanks!

o In order to get familiar with some really useful sustainable green methods and tools,
please look up my article here: Ranky, P.G.: An Integrated Architecture, Methods and
Some Tools for Enhancing Sustainable Enterprises and Systems

assignment, as part of it.
