Explain the issue, what happened (or is happening), how it was fixed (or if it is still a problem), and add your personal comments on the situation.
1. Based on the response above, describe how this impacts the daily operations of the transportation industry. Any ideas on how this can be solved or improved through a change in process or technology?

2. So much technology is required to run tasks behind the scenes, including the baggage deliver system, security, staffing, equipment maintenance, tickets, scheduling, equipment maintenance, etc.. That can be problematic if things are not running at peak performance.

Other than losing an Internet connection, how might technology be a burden or slow down the operations process?
Provide two specific examples of what could go wrong along with solutions.

3. Do you think moving some of the operational processes back to analog could help reduce the errors and issues you talked about earlier? Or is using more technology the answer? Explain.

4. Now that you might be more familiar with operations in this industry, assume your group is responsible for investigating new technologies that could be used in airlines operations.
Provide one or two ideas to increase efficiency, make systems more reliable, or provide a better customer experience.
