Taking the Plant to the Board
The quarterly meeting of the Board of Directors is set to commence at 2:00 p.m. Jim Elliott has
been reviewing his notes and agenda for the meeting most of the morning. The issue of the
temporary plant is clearly the most important agenda item. Reviewing his detailed presentation
of this matter, including the associated financial analyses, has occupied much of his time for
several days. All the available information underscores his contention that the temporary plant
in Plainville is the only responsible solution to the demand problem. No other option offers the
same low level of risk and ensures Byte’s statues as industry leader.
