How do business skills add value to Core Facility operation? Through the use of a case study spanning the lifetime of a
 Core Facility it will be shown how business skills can improve overall operability. Topics will include, but will not be
restricted to: business plans, personnel, inventory management, identifying costs, setting rates, equipment purchases,
marketing, compliance and Lean Six Sigma. The case study will provide an example of a poorly conceived, poorly
managed and poorly staffed core facility in action. The class will work through the case point by point identifying specific
business skills, knowledge or regulatory savvy that would help in solving or preventing the problems presented in the
 case study
