• Production meetings are a routine practice within
the industry
• They are used to discuss progress, delegate tasks,
solve problems and set targets
• Meetings have an agenda and minutes
• As a group, you need to discuss the elements on the
next few slides (your agenda).
• Record your decisions by downloading this
Powerpoint and adding notes to it in a different

see it. These will be your minutes.
