$1\mathrm{.}1$ Jackie has a company that distributes wholesale food and beverages to restaurants and cocktail bars. The restaurant sector is fast growing; a number of Jackie's customers provide premium dining experiences and want to extend that market segment further.

Jackie has frequently heard these customers saying that plans are constantly delayed because it is extremely difficult to find competent craftspeople, such as carpenters, who can manufacture bars and other fittings to precise designs in order to create a luxurious atmosphere.
