Riordan New Proposal Project
Riordan Manufacturing is a global plastics manufacturer that was founded by Dr. Riordan in 1991. Dr. Riordan obtained several patents that later turned into commercial applications that developed his company in to a Fortune 1000 enterprise, employing 550 people with projected earnings of $46 million dollars and over $1 billion in revenues.

To take a safer, smarter approach toward personnel security the proposal will also include recommendations for company badges. A badge policy would keep track of employees as they come and go plus alert employees to the presence of a visitor. Monitoring equipment should also be considered as this would be ideal for public gathering places to record any activity after hours by using a motion sensor
