Emily works for a small software company and oversees software quality assurance. The company recently developed an inventory control system for a national clothing manufacturer. The system gathers sales information on an hourly basis from clothing retailers nationwide. This information is then used by all departments (including the accounting, shipping, and ordering departments) to control the functions of the clothing manufacturer.
