Jeremy White, head of Product development, has called a follow-up meeting with the heads of various departments to discuss a project that was proposed the previous month.
Jeremy: Well, everyone, I had a meeting with the V.P.yesterday, and he wants to start this project ASAP. Now that the strategy has been decided,I want to know where we stand. Let’s start with you, Janet.
Janet: Our final analysis of the research material indicates we were right on track with our preliminary estimates. I have the report right here.
Jeremy: All right. How about you, Mario?
Mario: I’ve contacted suppliers about the equipment we’ll have to purchase. There’ll be no problem with getting it delivered as soon as we’re ready to start. Here’s the itemized price list.
Jeremy: That’s good. I was a little worried about the industry shortage for some of that equipment.OK, it looks like everything’s set. Who will manage the project, Bob?
Bob: Irene. She’s been notified, and she’s already delegated responsibility for the major tasks.
Jeremy: Great! I’ll talk to Marketing and have them prepare for selling our product. Bob, talk to QC and get them involved. That’s it, then. Let’s do it!
