Systems Engineering of a Reusable Container Program in San Luis Obispo

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Engineering - System Science California Polytechnic State University course: Systems Engineering language: English abstract: San Luis Obispo is a progressive town and a leader in waste reduction striving to become a zero waste community. Currently restaurants generate a large amount of waste from one time-use take out containers. Substituting one-time use containers with reusable containers will significantly reduce community waste. The following paper will perform a systems engineering analysis on creating a reusable container program in San Luis Obispo. Since the reusable container program is only in the design phase forecasts will be made in the integration production and operations phases.
