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!
