Required to do a thoughtful narrative analysis for the proposed answer with *two solutions* of the below problem?

Problem

A manufacturer of small plastic injection molded parts (caps, closures, fitments and pipettes) was experiencing static electricity problems during various steps in their molding and handling operations. The static caused the plastic parts to cling to the mold surfaces and causing the part, in some cases, to not completely eject from the mold cavity. Machine operators would receive a painful or potentially harmful shock from the molding process, and the attraction of airborne contaminates was causing unwanted dirt on the finished plastic parts. These issues negatively impacted operations by reducing productivity, increasing machinery malfunctions, increasing maintenance costs and posing discomfort or harm to operators.
