A Description of the ICT Systems Used in Hollywood Exp and how they meet there needs.
Introduction
The person I interviewed was called Eric Tomlinson and his job title was operations manager he was in charge of the warehouse were deliveries are picked (collected) and production were the popcorn is made and packaged. I was shown around both of these areas of the building. Eric Tomlinson who I interviewed used the computer for most of the day but occasionally left his office to check how the staff were doing there job. The company he works for is called Hollywood Express which is a large building off the main road in Ribbleton. The organisation is a large one and provides popcorn, chocolate, sweets, drinks, machinery and other stuff for UCI and Odeon cinemas around the country. The company buys stock from other companies and then provides it for it’s customers except for the popcorn as that is produced inside the company itself.
The company has around 10 to 15 workers in the ware house, 10 people in production and various other workers in the company Inc managers etc.
