During my mentor ship, currently help secretary filing paper/ imputing information in the computer/ knowing how much each of the products have sale per month. Sometime I shadow with my mentor, but currently i have not because he has a problem right now. based on my topic I'm learning how each products is being sale per month.

Blog 9 - Advisory Prep 3

1. State whether or not you currently have a mentor, and what the status of your interview is with that person (I have completed the interview, I have scheduled the interview, I have not scheduled the interview, etc).

• I have not scheduled the interview, but I will talk with him and schedule it next week.

2. At this point, your research is probably guiding your studies toward more specific areas within your topic.  Name the area or two you find most promising and explain your reasons.   

• Management of the Food company: The reason I chose this route was because I want to show the customer, who eating the product, how each of the product goes to different processes.

• How the food can be contaminated or prevent a food contamination: Based on the research I made safety and sanitation of the plantation is a huge issue with the companies reputation.

• How the consumers fully accept the product or enjoy the product: Most of the food business don't provide all of the ingredients with which they used in the product. My mentor has stated that the opinion of the costumers is important because that's where we receive the money.

3. What kinds of sources do you think will help you in the next month to gain more research depth?  Where will you go to get them?

• The sources that I think are books based on the food business managing or books base on management available in a library.
  
  
• As for component one I will be working in the production room to know how the process of the product is made.

• I want to take online classes from the LA county library based on business ethics, managements,dealing with difficult people will help me on the costumer service, etc.

4. Write down a possible EQ.  Please don't worry about wording other than ensuring that it provides the option for multiple correct answers.  At this point, the senior team is most interested in understanding your thought process.

• How can a food business fully operate with out no mistakes?
• What is the efficient way that a costumer is enjoying the product?

Blog 8: Independent Component 1 Proposal

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.

• For my Independent Component of 30 hours, I planning to help in the different areas of productions. There are five different room that produced different products and there's a different plantation next to the main company where a beverage is made from a plant;
• One of the room in the company produces four different salsas
• Second production room produces " beef Cecina", which Cecina is a type of meat that is cut into thin and  has been salted to add some flavor,
• Third room is where the beef Cecina has already been cut with seasoning and placed in these trays which then the trays are put in this oven.  
• Fourth room consist of making chorizo
• Fifth room is where the packaging section happens
• The room where the beverage "lechugilla" is made from a plant.   

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.

• My mentor is willing to let me go in the back of production on how each of the rooms function and learn each of there functions. My mentor want me to do a statue report on each of the function and give him some suggestion on what is the best way so that the production can move faster or be produce faster.

3.  Explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.

• This experience can help me in my topic by having that point of view where the workers do the production. Also can help me knowing on how efficient each of the room productions are and gather information on how a companies plantation needs to be clean with their equipment. 

4.  Update your Senior Project Hours log.
