it is located in the cytoplasm, inside the membrane, good luck

That's where the pre-fabs are made.
D--n I wish that they'd throw away the cell-as-city analogy.

Anyway, the rough endoplasmic reticulum is the site of ribosomes bound to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. The ribosomes "read" mRNA, and make proteins with the sequence determined by the mRNA sequence.

The endoplasmic reticulum (endoplasmic meaning "within the cytoplasm," reticulum meaning "little net" in Latin) or ER is an organelle found in all eukaryotic cells that is an interconnected network of tubules, vesicles and cisternae that is responsible for several specialized functions: Protein translation, folding, and transport (e.g., transmembrane receptors and other integral membrane proteins) of proteins to be used in the cell membrane, are to be secreted "exocytosed" from the cell (e.g., digestive enzymes); sequestation of calcium; production and storage of glycogen, steroids, and other macromolecules; and creation and transport of cell membrane proteins.[1] The endoplasmic reticulum is part of the endomembrane system. The basic structure and composition of the ER is similar to the plasma membrane.
The endoplasmic reticulum is called sarcoplasmic reticulum in both smooth and striated muscle

The rough ER is also known for protein synthesis. The have these tiny little complexes called ribosomes that translates mRNA into Amino Acids. So its like a manufacturing plant for proteins.
