Question

Ideally, the process of technological design should be cost-effective and time-effective. However, sometimes this is simply not possible, and trade-offs are necessary. Explain the trade-offs SciTech may have to make to complete the project.

Answer 1

A trade-off is a situation where one thing steps up while another steps down; or it can also be a decision that imply dropping the quality of a design in order to gain something else.

Companies sometimes re-organize their logistics in in order to improve certain areas or infrastructure.

The project of SciTech, (a well known Multi-disciplinary organisation specializing in biotechnology), of reducing the carbon footprint from transport, requires a combination of new vehicle technologies, behavioral changes and investments on the generation of renewable energy.

So they need to double the production of renewable electricity, or convert a portion of the agricultural ground to bio-fuel production. in order to sustain low carbon transport with other energy sources around.

Answer 2

This is what i used, and i got it right: "Since the project is about time efficiency they should probably go with Camilla it isn't that big of a price difference either way and they'll get it done more than two times faster for only a 50 dollar price difference."

Answer 3

Oracio is the most cost-effective choice because he would cost the least to complete the project. However, he would also take the longest amount of time. Camilla could complete the job the fastest, but she costs more than Oracio. SciTech will have to decide if it is more important to save money or complete the work quickly to meet the deadline.
