FALL 2014
The Goal A peaceful morning for Alex Rogo, a plant manager for UniCo Manufacturing, is brutally disrupted when Vice President Bill Peach makes an unexpected visit to the plant. The moment Alex walks through the doors he is confronted by frantic employees who inform him about missing customer order number 41427 and an angry Bill Peach waiting in his office. A heated confrontation between Bill Peach and Alex Rogo rises about the overdue order but Alex is quickly brought down to earth when he learns the terrible shape his plant is actually in. Before leaving Peach gives Alex an ultimatum that he has to turn the plant around in three months or else he will close it down. After moving back to his hometown of Bearington to take the position as plant manager for UniCo, Alex felt a sense of accomplishment and pride. However, those feelings soon diminished when things began to fall apart not only at work but with his personal life as well. Bearington, a small suburb, is a factory town once booming with business but is now full of vacant storefronts and office buildings. After the meeting with Bill Peach, Alex faces the harsh reality that his plant might be the next vacant building added to the list. Later that evening Alex returns to UniCo to check on the status of customer order number 41427. Luckily with the labor of every employee working overtime they get the shipment out at the last minute. Alex Rogo, along with all of UniCo’s plant managers, join at headquarters for a meeting called by Mr. Peach.

And through the grapevine Alex finds out why Bill Peach has acted like a madman lately, the Division has one year to improve or it will be sold, along with Mr. Peach. While at the meeting Alex endeavors to pay attention but recalls to a recent business trip where he ran into an old physics professor,
