Terms of reference
This report is intended to highlight problems currently faced by the Kitchen of the Futre Resarch Unit.

Physical environment
The Unit is based in an annex of the company's head office. However, the facilities are out-of-date, and the offices are full of reports, equipment, etc. Staff are sometimes unable to find specific information that they are asked for, as the relevant report cannot be located. It is therefore likely that unless the Unit moves to more spacious nd better-equipped premises very soon, it will be unable to continue operations.

Work of the Unit
The Unit produces a large number of reports on innovations affecting the food industry. Reports are commissioned by outside bodies, and staff travel anywhere in the world to carry out the necessary research. They are so experienced that they can produce a report in a very short time.

Staff also work on projects to invent new products, most recently the 'Music Knife', a gadget which optiises cooking preparations by playing music of a suitable mood and speed.
