For this week's discussion, you will are asked to visit a local business to observe and report on some key operational elements.

It is recommended you visit a relative small but active business operation for this research.  A company with 50 to 100 employees can be better evaluated than a large corporation with many different work centers employing thousands of workers. Your response will be a consolidated answer to the following questions:

• Provide a brief description of the business visited (business name, type, location, etc)
• Describe the job to be done, the workers needed for the jobs, and how the workers help achieve the objectives of the business. (Question 2, page 424)
• Identify the different types of inventory used. (Question 1, page 476)
• Explain the different functions of its inventory (Question 2, page 476)
