Abstract

Things had not been going at all well in the assembly section of the Acme Bicycle Company. For the past six months, the section had consistently failed to meet its quota and heads were beginning to roll. As newly appointed foreman of the assembly section, you have been brought in to remedy this sad state of affairs. You realize that this is your big chance to catch the eye of upper management, so the first day on the job you roll up your sleeves and begin finding out everything you can about what goes on in the section.
