[Prepare Unit (Service Firm)]

In a service firm, products are prepared and sold to customers in a unified operation. On the 3×3 layout, the preparing process (e.g. preparation of pizzas) is structurally similar to the manufacturing process. It has Input units for procuring ingredients, and a Prepare unit for making the products. Then the Prepare unit is linked to a Sales unit, allowing it to sell the products directly to customers.^

~Product Name~
The type of product that the unit is currently preparing.^

~Product Stock~
This area shows the stock of the product in the unit. Each box represents one cargo of the product. Each cargo can store a certain number of units of the product.^

~Raw Material Stock~
The stocks of raw materials are represented by a row of green bars here. The length of each bar indicates the quantity of the raw material stocked in the unit.^ 

~Utilization~
This brown bar shows the utilization of the unit. If this bar reaches its full length, the unit has reached its full capacity. It can prepare no more goods even if there is additional supply and demand. On the other hand, if this bar is short, this indicates that its facilities and resources are not being used effectively. This might contribute to the firm's low profitability.
