Executive Summary Example

                                               
Engineering for Disaster, Inc. (EFD) was contracted by Jacob Ross to research and propose a solution for installing a residential elevator in Mr. Ross’s home. Based on Mr. Ross’s requirements and our subsequent research, EFD recommends a residential elevator with a mechanical cable system controlled by a PLC.

Mr. Ross, who uses a wheelchair, is re-locating to a new multi-level home with his family and needs the elevator installed prior to moving in. EFD’s recommendation takes into account the following requirements:

Our research provided two possible solutions:

EFD proposes to install a residential elevator with a mechanical cable system controlled by a PLC.  The noise of the cable system should not be an issue since the elevator will not be heavily used.  Also, the PLC’s advantages of reliability, cost, and the ability to upgrade far exceed the price of a programming package.  This combination provides a cost-effective, reliable solution that meets Mr. Ross’s needs.
