7:50 8:00 8:10 8:25 The workday starts at 8:00, when do you clock-in?

Activity: You own a manufacturing company. You make WIDGETS. The production line has ten stations and one person is needed at each station. If a station is left unattended then the other stations are held up because each station needs attention at all times. It takes 1 hour to start and finish making 1000 WIDGETS. There is one employee that is often late to work. He also comes back late from breaks and lunch. Because each station needs to have someone in attendance the line is unable to start on time and production is slowed.
