Initially, the Management Team agreed the new shop- training program was well worth the capital expenditure and would solve many of their problems and concerns, but now they weren't sureo When the meeting began, I simply asked the Management Team to describe their problems and/or concerns and how they planned to solve them. The Management Team described their difficulties and offered their solutions as reasons to proceed with the shop-training programo Drawing a diagram on a sheet of paper to illustrate my point, I asked how these solutions would enhance their growth and profitability. They thought about the question and discussed it for several minutes. Then the President said the proposed shop-training program only addressed the symptoms, not the real problem. The decision was instantaneous. What was the real problem? Not correctly evaluating the problem and/or concerns in relation to the impact on their business and its customers and suppliers. "In less than an hour, we made the decision not to proceed with this program and saved the $45,000 in tuition." What was the solution? MPI Business International's Strategic Development Program identified the real problems, clearly described them and developed a comprehensive strategy to provide cost-effective solutions. ....... Case Study #2: Providing Alternatives Background: The business was relocating in two months. The plan included a new Inspection facility with a State-of- the-Art clean room, an expanded Tool Crib and physically moving over one hundred machine tools. The Owner estimated two weeks of downtime, during the actual plant relocation. At the suggestion of a friend, the owner asked for my opinion of their planning efforts. Within two days, I offered a project concept plan that essentially accomplished all of their goals in considerably less time than originally estimatedo The plan developed internal and external project teams, which included personnel from the company, Electrical Contractors, machinery movers, etc. By starting the actual move on a Thursday night, 95% of the plant relocation was completed by the following Sunday afternoon along with 85% of the machine tools and coordinate measuring machines being fully operational. On Monday, the larger machining centers were 'Lasered' and "Collaborated' making the entire plant 100% operational. The Result? Less than two actual days of downtime compared to two weeks. Benefits: No delays, no disruption of service and their Customers were pleasantly surprised. Our 5 Step Project Management System saved this company -$250,000 in lost sales and overtime costs. What did the owner say, "If I didn't see it, I wouldn't have believed it!" ....... MPI Business International's Strategic Development Program is a total system approach to growth and profitabilityo With over thirty years of business, engineering and manufacturing experience, we offer the most comprehensive Business Analysis Tools, Business Development Programs and Project Management Services available.

The Andover Station Design Standards are intended to encourage creative application of specific design principles to the commercial center site (refer to Exhibit B - Regulating Plan)o The goal of the design review process is to provide a framework for performance based communication, collaboration, negotiation and accommodation.

I Andover Station Commercial Park Covenants February 15,2001 - 6- . Build-to Lines J Build-to Lines define locations where buildings must be built within a certain distance of the public right-of-way or the ponds. Bringing building fronts close to the edge of streets or ponds and wetland enhance continuity, attractiveness and intimacy of pedestrian spaces. Specific regulations for Build-to Lines are: ~ Build-to Lines occur at the edge of the dedicated right-of-way, where property meets a publicly accessible street, path or water and wetland amenity. ~ To contribute towards meeting the Build-to requirement, building facades must be sited within zero to ten feet of the public right of way. ~ Parks or plazas may be used to satisfy up to 20 percent of the build-to requirement, and must be landscaped with shade trees and furnished with seating areas 0 ~ Standards for Bui]d-to Lines and associated elements such as minimum building height, building frontage and building entry as well as window placement and frequency are described.in greater detail in the Architectural Standards Section. .

Required Building Entries The Andover Station Site Plan shows locations where major building entries should be encouraged to create important pedestrian and visual connections. These entries are located at important corners or intersections, typically where larger stores would locate. Placing entries at these locations helps ensure that the buildings relate to the street and that pedestrians have a direct route of entry to the buildings. Pedestrians passing through these entries establish a critical mass of activity at major corners and near public areas. . Towers Towers are required in the designated locations to mark major destinations and gateways.

Reveals Windows and doors must be recessed at least two inches from walls or exterior trim to create shadow for visual interest. . Building Scale and Definition The guidelines in this section are intended to create buildings with a human scale, making Andover Station Commercial Center more pedestrian-friendly and pleasant place to walk. >- Structural Legibility and Articulation Facade articulation is required. Building fenestration (windows and doors) and changes in mass shall relate to structural system(s) and the organization of interior spaceo Vertical architectural features such as columns and piers help articulate building masso ;.. Roof Form/Rooftop Equipment A variety of roof forms are permittedo Changes in roof form must correspond with a building's structural bays and massingo Mechanical equipment must be integrated into overall mass of a building and screened behind parapets or recessed into hips, gables, parapets and similar featureso Plain equipment boxes are not acceptable. .
