Bomb threats
• Explosive sniffing dogs
• Easier and cheaper explosive detection method.
• The dogs can also provide extra security i.e sightings of strange individuals.
• Accompany security personnel on their patrol.
Landmine threats
• Detection of landmines is difficult, dangerous, costly and time-consuming. Therefore:
• We introduce the Landmine detection rats (HERORATs).
• It takes approximately two months and 50 USD to fully train a HeroRAT.
• The rats are trained to use their exceptional sense of smell to detect landmines.
• With this, we can do a joint operation with the government to remove the landmines nearby the factory.
Problem Solution Cost
Terrorist threat Upgrade weaponry and more experienced & trained security personal
Slightly high as equipmentand 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
little due to abundant resource of dogs and rats.
Landmines Landmine detection rats (HERORATs)
Pros Cons
•Bigger guns provide more assurance.•Provide jobs for people who served the country.
•Cost is slightly expensive.
•Provide sense of security on sight.•Moving detector.
•Might scare the employees.
•Cost extremely low.•Build better relationship with the government.
•Take 2 months to train.
Expected Result – Chain effect

• Increase in productivity level.
• Increase in sales revenue in the next 12months period.
Conclusion
• It costs more to cover the unnecessaryexpense such as compensationpaid, employees’ healthcare, repairing costand others THAN to put these plans intomotions.
• Should the top management decides toexecute these plans, I can assure an increaseof productivity level, which in turn willimprove the gross profit margin in 12 monthsperiod.
