Modern Building Solutions (MBS) builds portable buildings to clients' specifications. The firm has two departments: Parts Fabrication and Assembly. The Parts Fabrication Department designs and cuts the major components of the building and is highly automated.

In its first month of operations (March 2013), MBS obtained contracts for three buildings: • Job 1: a 20-by 40-foot storage building • Job 2: a 35-foot commercial utility building • Job 3: a 30-by 40-foot portable classroom MBS bills its customers on a cost-plus basis, with profit set equal to 25 percent of costs.
