Marketing:
-Objective: Create an online survey form for finding our type of soap.
-Achievement: Marketing successfully made a survey on Ms. Henderson's website in which 98 people participated.
Accounting:
-Objective: Find cost of basic ingredients of making soap, and develop projected paychecks for all employees.
-Achievement: Accounting is working hard with all the ingredients we gave them, they successfully developed company employees' paychecks.
Research Scientist:
-Objective: Research ingredient factors (fat/OH ratio,NaOH vs. KOH,reaction time, color addition, and scent addition) and their effects on the soaps pH, latherability, scent, appearance, consistency and cleaning ability.
-Achievement: Scientist researched the goal of finding soap recipes and chemicals in use within the lab and successfully got a grasp on the essential ingredients of soap. Basically finding background information and what we will do.
