Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and tool for systematizing introduction of a change to a process. The method and tool provide a virtual representation of the process, which includes at least one method having a plurality of steps. Then, the method and tool identify an input required, an output produced and corresponding control logic of at least one intervening resource involved in at least one of the steps. Finally, the method and tool evaluate, based on the input require, output produced and the control logic of the at least one intervening resource, impact of the change to the at least one intervening resource.

Abstract: An apparatus for surfacing earthworms from an earthworm bearing soil is disclosed including a first member having a plurality of spaced apart notches and a second member, where a bottom end the of the first member is designed to be placed on a surface of site of the earthworm bearing soil and the second member is designed to be rubbed across the notched surface of the first member producing vibrations that surface earthworms. An electronic or electrical version of the apparatus is also disclosed along with methods for using the apparatuses to surface earthworm for harvesting.
