problem solving

2.5. Make a list of at least three other examples of recent paradigm shifts you can identify. 5.10. An airline at the Houston Airport tried to please its passengers by always docking its planes at gates within a one- to two-minute walk to the airport entrance and baggage claim and by having all the bags at the baggage claim area within eight to ten minutes. Unfortunately, the airline received many complaints about the time it took to get the bags to the baggage claim area. The airline researched the situation and found that there was virtually no way it could unload the bags to the transport trucks, drive to the unloading zone, and unload the bags any faster. The airline didn't change the baggage unloading procedure, but it did change another component of the arrival process and the complaints disappeared. The airline did not use mirrors to solve the problem (as was the case for the slow elevators). A. What was the real problem? B. Suggest a number of things that you think the airline might have done to eliminate the complaints. Apply two or more problem-solving techniques. Source: Washington Post, p.
