The Engineering Trade-Offs (ETO) Team is tasked to develop a new, integrated
decision-making approach to compare/contrast two or more states of being:
a benchmark and an alternative, a change in a production process, alternative
processes or products. ETO highlights the differences in: 1) engineering
performance; 2) economic/cost efficiency; 3) potential environmental burdens.
ETO includes an assessment of the potential social resistance to a change.
