ENGINEERING, TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY 3

In general, industry is aware that it needs to take steps to ensure that it operates in a responsible way, not just economically, but also socially (including health and safety) and environmentally.

Select one industry sector, other than metal ore(s) mining, and compare and contrast two of the methods discussed in the Operational Excellence presentation given on Friday, 5th February 2016. Discuss how they can (or can not) be used to address the industry sector’s economic, environmental and social responsibilities (your answer should be a maximum of 2 pages long – references can be put on a third page).

Your report should be fully referenced within the text, including any pictures or diagrams used. Also make sure you include at the end of the report a list of all References used in the text.
For a guide on how to use references in the text and compile a reference list, refer to the separate Assignment Guidelines loaded up on.
On-line encyclopedias, such as Wikipedia, are not acceptable as a reference – you must quote the original source (e.g., journal article, book, technical report, company website etc.).
