TOPIC DISCUSSION

After meeting up with my group partner Babal, we sat down to discuss and brainstorm key areas in  the operation of a workshop. It was helpful that we both have had previous experiences in actually working in a shop and so we had an insight of the daily workings. Key topics to be covered in our report include:

1. Customer service
2. Advertising and promotions
3. Workshop layout
4. Workforce (i.e manager, supervisor, workers)
5. Location (i.e entrance, exit and parking)
6. Equipment and supplies
7. Work planning
8. Allocation of working
9. Health and safety
10. Billing and return
11. Waste management
12. Legislation compliance or non-compliance

We concluded after further collaborations that we would distribute the work load evenly so that we may begin to research the topics in more depth. We decided that I would focus my investigation on topics 1-6, while Babal covers topics 7-12. We also mutually agreed that after the completion of research on each of our topics that we would move on to further researching each others topics. By the end of our research we will collaborate on each others findings and begin to piece together a project report.
