MEMO

DATE: March 31
TO: All operations employees
FROM: Robin Evans, Chief of operations SUBJECT: Reports review

Last week, I distributed a report detailing the department’s performance in the first quarter. There are some items in the report that I think should be addressed.

First of all, it seems that costs in the maintenance department have ---66--- since last quarter. I have asked Terrence Howard’s team to provide some details related to specific increases in maintenance expenses. Also, I am quite surprised that certain project ---67--- have not been met. ---68---. Lastly, inventory levels are currently lower than projected. I would like to set up a meeting with Carmine Gosford’s group to discuss our ---69--- for managing inventory going forward.

We will be doing other performance reviews throughout the year, and I hope that this will help us become a more efficient and productive department.

I have health insurance. But the insurance company have raised the premiums so much, I'm thinking about canceling.

Kelly
7.55 PM
I think you'd better continue paying for insurance.

Brendan

My travel agency also recommended additional coverage, because my current policy won’t cover me if I need medical services abroad.

Kelly
8.00 PM
That makes sense.
Consider the fact that a small additional fee could save you money and 8:00 P.M. ensure medical services, if you need them abroad.

Kelly
8.01 PM
This is important because medical eligibility laws can be quite different in other countries. But if you really can't afford the additional fees, maybe you should see if you can find a less expensive insurance company.

Kelly
8.03 PM
I just don't think you should cancel your current coverage until you’ve found something affordable that meets your needs.

Marcus: Oh, really? I didn’t know that. Well, could you check for any other house available in that area with a similar layout?
