                                FIGURE 3   In less than six months, ABC will have a detailed implementation
                                        plan as well as a capital-funding request for Consolidated.

                         Specifically, our methodology consists of the five major tasks shown in Figure 3
                         and discussed in detail in Appendix A. Please note that the five-and-one-half-month
                         estimate for completing the study is conservative. Working with your management
                         team, we will make every effort to accelerate the project’s completion.

                                     Qualifications of Paramount Consulting
                         ABC is faced with a most formidable challenge as it begins the task of providing
                         additional manufacturing capacity to avert the shortfall expected in the next few years.
                         This capacity shortfall should be considered imminent as you examine the numerous
                         tasks that must be completed effectively within the narrow available time frame.

                         Time will be required for sufficient interchange between ABC and Consolidated to
                         agree on the decision to commit scarce financial, planning, managerial, and other
                         resources needed to implement the selected option. Substantially more time will be
                         needed to put in place additional resources and to provide the necessary training for
                         an effective start-up.
                         As described in the following paragraphs, Paramount has the diverse capabilities
                         to help you complete this challenging engagement successfully and expeditiously.
                         Specifically, we have:
