MEMO: Space Depletion Attention

Requested
Recently, I have been working on many projects. Many of these projects are very vital to

our companys performance and overall functionality. However there have been some major

issue that have risen. One main issue is size of facilities to experiment and execute outcomes of

these projects. We have about 100 acres to use for this facility. Most of that land is dedicated to

factory production and manufacturing. We even have two large fountains and three medium

sized ponds. Little to say we need some of these, I dont anticipate them being removed any time

soon. Due to this lack of space, we need some space for the research that is taking place to

improve upon what we have here at Wonka Industries and progress towards the future of a candy

filled galaxy.

As you may know, we have been doing a lot of research, including the Loompa project.

We are trying to splice reproduction and gene intervention to create the perfect Loompa. Many

of the lack luster experiments have been sent in for genetic correction to try and undo the

damage of failed experimentation. After the giant Loompa incident that occurred last Tuesday,

we now have 20 less floors to the correction center. As you might imagine, this has caused
massive overflow and backup for Loompa correction. Along similar lines, we are about to

acquire a massive supply drop in the chemical linguistics branch. This drop is estimated to take

about two thirds of our storage bays, along with another drop estimated to take almost three

fifths of the research storage bays. To top off all of this, our team is progressing quicker than

planned. This means that we need a larger space to work and spread the different materials being

worked on so that they do not cross contaminate. If these projects cross contaminate, we might

be out of business in the matter of twenty-two seconds.

This was an inevitable outcome seeing that the company was making so much progress in

so little time. We have been preparing for this issue for a few years. We have bought a small

portion on land just outside of the factory that will help us a little with our storage issues, but

because of the two massive supply drops, we are not going to be in the clear for long. A few

short weeks after these couple of drops, we are going to receive a similar sized drop. This makes

it critical for us to expand as soon as we can. Our research has been expanding since the start.

Weve been moving from project to project, and recently we have been receiving more projects

than we can complete. These projects need as much space as they can be given in order for us to

acquire the precise data. We do not want any false numbers or miscalculations when it comes to

statistics. This means that space is a crucial aspect for our departments success. As of now, we

have workable space, but our data is already proving to get out of hand. This could mean the

company is prone to a huge loss if these statistics are incorrect. As you can see, the importance is
set very high for this expansion and is highly necessary for the success and the future of our

company.

This letter isnt all about bad news. We do have some solutions that may be of use. One

decision, the most obvious decision is to buy more land and expand the factory entirely. This

may take some time and construction may not be finished in time, but in the mean time we can

rent space for temporary storage and move some of the research into the storage space while

construction is ongoing. Of course, this solution will be somewhat costly. Estimates for the cost

of this solution will be noted later in this letter. There will also be a high demand of

communication, not only between you and our department, but also between the land lords as

well. This could be somewhat of a tedious task because of the high attention demand needed by

the entire industry itself, but this could solve many more issues down the road.

Another solution our expert team has come up with is to buy external land close by to the

facility as storage. Our logistical team has been reviewing some land spaces outside of the

factory and have found some good locations to set up our storage. This will be beneficial for our

current space issue dealing with these upcoming supply drops. Finding new space, we could even

relocate some of our research to an outpost nearby. The cons to this idea is eventually we will

need to expand. Expansion is evident as I mentioned before. But, this can give us more time to

fully plan what we need to do. This is still time consuming because of the transportation and

transition that would need to take place. There would also be a communication issue. Due to the

range, we would not be able to communicate as quickly and easily as we typically would. The
cost would not be on our favor for this solution either. Details will be enclosed shortly, but

overall, this would be a good option if we decided to take a little bit of time to plan what we need

to expand and where we need to begin.

As I mentioned, we do not have many options. No matter what side we choose, we will

have to pay a heavy price, but seeing as how our company is doing, it wont be much of an issue.

As per our calculations, for option one, each rental storage space is about 5 acres. We would be

charged $25,000 a month per acre. We have calculated the space needed would be around 35

acres just for the storage of the two upcoming shipments. We would need an additional 20 acres

for the shipment following the next two. In total, the cost for the excess space would be

$1,375,000 a month to rent out the space alone. For each acre that we buy for expansion, we

would be charged $100,000. The total would depend on how many acres we would buy, which

as of now, is 80 acres. This equals out to a total of $8 million, which could change again

depending on the space we buy. Construction costs have not been fully estimated yet, but

numbers are close to $20 million. An estimated total for solution one without any alterations to

default data would be $29,375,000+$1,375,000x (x being number of months the land is rented).

As we know, we have more than enough to pay all of this in full on the first meeting. Option two

consists of buying off sight land for the time being. The total amount of land needed for the

shipments is still 55 acres. Land offsite is around $90,000. This would lead to a total $4.95

million just for the storage space. For our research outpost, we are estimating about 15 acres as a

temporary space requirement. This would be a total of $1,350,000. Altogether, solution two
would be $6.3 million. Full expansion for this option would be separate, so pricing for that

would come later. Transportation and transition would be covered in all other department costs,

or normal operation costs. We also have the funds to afford this and more if needed.

As far as recommendations go, we recommend solution two. It would be a lot cheaper

just to buy the offsite land than rent it. This would also allow us to plan on what we need rather

than jump into it. As of now expansion is needed, but by buying offsite, we would have enough

space for the supply drops, along with enough room to commence our research. Once we plan

and finish expansion, we can utilize the offsite land for overflow storage as needed. This would

also come in use if we need more expansion in the future. Space is of a necessity for our

company. We hope you will consider and act upon this important issue, seeing that it could break

our company if it is not dealt with.
