The Case: GIGI'S CATERING (C) With a firmer grasp of what the students were looking for, Gigi decided to accept that opportunity and begin the planning process. "It is very important for me to plan this entire process since there is a firm deadline," Gigi thought. "Moreover, I don't want my efforts wasted and I want to earn as much as I can from this project. I'd better keep wastages low." She first decided to make a list of all of the inputs she would need. Of course there's the chicken or beef and the rice. These are the primary inputs in this entire undertaking. Other raw material inputs include the condiments and spices, the cooking oil, cooking gas or fuel, and the styropor packaging. In terms of equipment inputs, Gigi realized that she'd need large vats for cooking the viand and the rice, with corresponding equipment for cooking. She would also need knives, butcher blocks and other cooking tools. She'd need a large space as this would need people to help her for this project to cut, cook, pack and deliver the food. Finally, she would also need a delivery service for the product as her small car would not be sufficient at this point. Guide Questions 1. What are the inputs needed by Gigi for the project? 2. Are there any other inputs that Gigi failed to identify?
