In this assignment you are expected to follow the problem solving stages (start with course Topics 1-3) to identify a specific problem, generate and evaluate solutions and devise an implementation plan.

Your task is to address this problem in a new way by application of tools and methods starting with those enunciated by Wood et al. (2009). Four more (at minimum) academic references should be cited in the report.
Specific tasks or report elements:
1. Problem background
2. Problem definition
3. Solution generation
4. Solution evaluation
5. Implementation and action plan
