packaged units, as we've seen in some <strong>of</strong> these<br />

products that are coming out. So there's more<br />

understanding <strong>of</strong> that. And then there is, <strong>of</strong><br />

course, the inexperienced packaged unit sub-vendors.<br />

There is a lot <strong>of</strong> how do you select those, who is<br />

the most experienced and who have issues with,<br />

especially with overseas, you know, shipping those<br />

out. And then there's the lack <strong>of</strong> input from O and<br />

M personnel that was prevalent within the chemical<br />

industry and then <strong>of</strong> course, unrealistic promises by<br />

packaged unit sales.<br />

Next slide. Some <strong>of</strong> the recommendations<br />

that came out <strong>of</strong> that were, you know, the<br />

prequalification program. I'm sure there's<br />

something like that within OBO. Customized<br />

specification meeting. And this is where you take a<br />

vendor's product, take a detailed look at it to see<br />

what are some <strong>of</strong> the customization needs. As David<br />

mentioned, there is, you know, a piece <strong>of</strong> equipment<br />

to be up against a wall. What are some changes that<br />

need to be made so those processes are in place?<br />

And then <strong>of</strong> course, the packaged units coordinator<br />

and that's similar to the vendor data coordinator,<br />

where there is someone within OBO that coordinates<br />

between all the disciplines and the different vendor<br />
