Andy has recently been employed in a factory where plastic cutlery is boxed and shipped. Andy's job is to check every 3^rd box to ensure the correct number of knives, spoons, or forks are included. Andy's boss wants him to increase his overall speed (the number of boxes checked per hour) now that he has reached a 100% accuracy rate. Andy's job coach suggests the boss require Andy to increase his number of boxes checked by 1 per hour (4 per day) in one week increments. If Andy reaches his quota for 5 consecutive work days, he will be rewarded with a bonus of $20 to be implemented permanently when he reaches and maintains his final quota of 20 boxes checked per hour for 3 weeks.
