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 />
