I. Background and Environmental Analysis Throughout this section, a comprehensive background and environmental analysis is provided as well as an in-depth analysis of Trusty Carpets' operational landscape. To organize this analysis, a roadmap of contexts will be used, namely a summary of the company's history and a detailed evaluation of its environment. Trusty Carpets' vision, strategy, and objectives will be discussed along with its business processes as part of the environmental analysis. Additionally, the analysis will consider the competitive products and processes of our competitors, technological advances, commercial and operational trends causing change, and relevant statutory and legislative changes. By evaluating these critical factors, we will be able to gain a better understanding of Trusty Carpets' current situation and identify opportunities for growth and improvement. A. Background Trusty Carpets has been in the carpet business for the last 20 years and has increased their footprint in the carpet industry. The business recently expanded with the acquisition of Metro Carpets and a merger with a local carpet installer.

A recommendation is: to streamline communication between locations, sales associates, and installation crew to provide top customer service efficiently. With this adjustment, Trusty Carpets’ vision is to become the community's premier carpet sales and installation company, providing top-quality service and environmentally friendly products. Strategy Besides using the local newspaper and showrooms as advertisements, Trusty Carpets must get their product out to the public. Trusty Carpets’ adoption of 1
