ANALYSIS
A. Trend in the Industry
Brownies is a trend to consumers who like sweets, having a lesser price and
easy to bring dessert. According to Wikipedia.org (2016), it is a cross between a
cake and a soft cookie. Brownies are typically eaten by hand, often accompanied by
milk or coffee. They are common lunchbox treats, and also popular in restaurants
and coffeehouses. The company added marshmallow in between 2 bars of brownie
since s’more is one of the trendy snacks for teenagers. Its delightful taste will attract
the consumers and will make them consider it as their first choice of dessert.

are in best quality but in cheaper price. The following are the standards for the

B&B Partnership will transact with the suppliers for the materials needed in
producing the product. In purchasing the materials needed, first, the Production
Manager, Louis Dominic Diu will talk to the General Manager, Maika Vacalares to
ask approval for the purchasing of materials. After asking for approval, he will
then talk to the Financial Manager, Kaye Navarro to ask for money needed for
the purchasing. Afterwards, he will now go to the supplier to settle the deal, buy
the materials, and pay for the supplies needed for the business. Finally, he will
talk again to the financial manager to record the transaction that was made with
the suppliers.
B&B Partnership decided to rent a space for the storage of their materials and
ingredients that will be used in the business. This space is large enough to cover and
store all the materials, especially all the necessities required in the production
process. For the inventory control, the owners must take charge and are responsible
for their will and actions.

Manager, Kaye Navarro and the Production Manager, Louis Dominic Diu will also
help them in selling to minimize the burden when these two are having a hard time
