The project manager, Carmona, discusses the economic and environmental impact of the product. They mention a loss of $12,500 due to almond spillage, but state that the investment in the product can help save this money. The product is made of stainless steel and has a long lifespan. The environmental impact is related to the water wasted in growing almonds, which amounts to 1,987,700 liters. The recommendation is to reduce the body height and increase the bottom radius of the funnel. The maintenance plan should be implemented as per the existing plan. The next steps involve making adjustments to the funnel to prevent spillage and increase the flow rate of almonds. Hello, my name is Carmona. I'm the project manager of this team. Okay, now that we have talked about the components, let's talk about the economic and environmental impact. So, the first question is, how much will your product bring in revenue or savings? Is it a good investment? Well, based on the selling of January, they had a loss of approximately 1,300 pounds of almond. And based on the average of five different companies, the price for a slice steak is around $9.35. So, they had a total amount of loss of $12,500. So, now, that's the amount that they lost. So, if they invest into the funnel and they, of course, like, we fix the areas that we need to improve, then they will be able to save this money. And also, they already have, like, a company who they are partnered with and they build the devices that they have. So, they will be even, like, I don't think they will have to spend a lot of money, but let's say, like, it goes, like, $1,000, $2,000 to have this partnership every month. Let's say even, like, $5,000 because I'm actually not sure of the exact price. So, let's say $5,000. Even, like, in one month, they already, like, reinvest, like, the amount of losses that they have. And also, like, they have $7,500, like, left. And this could be, like, easily saved. And, well, of course, as I said, the funnel, besides, like, they have a partnership with another company, it's also, like, stainless steel, meaning that it will be very, very, it will take a really long time for the stainless funnel to disintegrate. So, and based on, like, readings, it takes approximately, like, around 50 years. Now, so, what's the environmental impact of a product? So, the whole goal is to implement a product that will reduce the amount of spillage. So, we want to significantly decrease or eliminate for total the amount of spillage of almonds. So, to think about this, we have to go a little out of the picture. We have to think, okay, how are almonds related to environmental impact? And we have to think, why is it needed for growing almonds? And we know that growing almonds, it requires an immense amount of water. So, as I said, in January, based on the January data that they gave us, they lost 1,300 pounds of almonds. And based on the Ganevius article, I have it in my reference in the monitor, they used approximately 1,529 liters of water per pound. So, in total, there was about 1,987,700 liters of water being wasted. This amount can fill, so, this is a huge amount of water. But, okay, so, to put visualization, the truck that I have right here, this truck is a tanker truck that can carry 25,000 liters of water. So, we will have 794 tanker trucks of 25,000 liters of water being wasted. So, the environmental impact that Orfono will intend to do in the future is to be able to save all this accumulated water being wasted. Now, for the recommendation. So, what does it require from the sponsor to implement my project? What is the maintenance plan? So, the only requirement that the sponsor has to do to implement my product is to reduce the body height of the funnel and increase the bottom radius. Unfortunately, as you guys saw in the video, as soon as it started going past the lane, the funnel was not big enough on the bottom to sustain it. And, as I mentioned to Freddy, who is here with us, the engineer, and about, like, okay, what about if we make the bottom radius more wider? As he said, if we made it more wider, it might affect with the club movement and back and forward. So, the only way possible to adapt Orfono is to make the body height smaller and increase the bottom radius in order for the almonds to float thoroughly without any problem. So, and then, why is the maintenance plan that it should be required? Well, since the funnel is made out of stainless steel and the club and the original funnel is already made of stainless steel, it just has to be implemented into the already predetermined maintenance plan that they already have. So, and also, this is, like, a stainless steel product, as, again, it will last for a couple of decades without having any problem. And what are the next steps to follow? Unfortunately, I wish I could say in this slide that that's it, like, there's no more steps. Like, they could focus on other, like, machines. But, unfortunately, like, based on the recent, like, mistake or on the recent, like, disadvantage that we have with our audio, well, with our funnel, we have to increase the bottom radius of the funnel and increase the body height of the funnel. If this, like, if this is implemented into our funnel, it might actually do what it's supposed to do to prevent the spillage and increase the flow rate of the almonds. And if we have this recommendation, it will assure, like, that the funnel will work as it's intended to work. And thank you, everybody. Does anyone have any questions? Thank you.
