Describe the scope of the operations to include in the Partner Challenge Study. For example, do you want to include company-wide
operations or only operations from a specific location? Attach a diagram of the operations included in this study, if available.
Project Scope
Describe the facilities to be included in the Partner Challenge Study. Provide the physical boundaries of each location, explaining
boundary points where the facilities in this study interface with other companies, business units, and facilities. Attach a diagram
illustrating boundaries, if available.
