Our business is ran by the Making and Marketing class here at Boothbay Region High school. There are 4 different departments that work together to create, advertise, and sell a product. The design and engineering, production, marketing, and finance teams.
Design and Engineering
Design and Engineering
The Design and Engineering team is vital to our business, especially with the beginning of the process. Their job is to research and determine different design types and features that will provide a well functioning and appealling product. Along with testing and revising, they also are in charge of creating the designs offered on one of our boards.
Production
Production
The Production team has quite a bit of responsiblity with the creation of the product. They are in charge of establishing all the steps and methods of the production process. They work with design to come up with an initial prototype; and when the time comes to start making the products, they oversee production.
Marketing
Marketing
The Marketing team takes on the job of actually being able to advertise and sell the product. They find out the type of people who might be interested in purchasing, and from there create a company name, logo, social media pages, website, commercial, etc. To determine pricing, they send out surveys asking how much different people are willing to pay for a similar product; and compared pricing from other companies.
Finance
Finance
The Finance team is relatively behind the scenes, making sure the business stays on track and all finances are handled smoothly. They work up an inital business plan, and meet with potential investors to pitch the product. All purchases of materials are handled by the team, along with keeping track of all assets and debits. Another thing they are in charge of keeping track of is payroll. They sort out employee hours, and handle pay checks.
