Solving the Problem

The opportunity I have selected is to reduce the number of federal certifications businesses must pass, as well as its respective employees, in order to operate. An opportunity as this one will alleviate some of the stresses that workers must endure. While the problem may be hard to address directly, a number of solutions can be imposed to decrease the certifications. Many of these certifications are expensive and time consuming, which impact the company as a whole and hinder its productive environment. One of the solutions some laboratories had during this competitive time was to reduce the prices of laboratory tests and hoped to make up the deficit with more volume.  A solution to these problems would be for the government to lessen the regulatory requirements so that labs can still be profitable and provide the highest quality data. Also, most of these labs’ clients are some form of government, City, County, State, and Federal. When obtaining any service, they have to use a completive bid process with award going to the lowest priced qualified bidder. Higher sets of criteria could be used other than price and complicating qualifications, such as experience of each employee, awards, and recognize performance on the very costly yearly required Performance Testing samples.
