Suppose you become involved with the Rady Business Journal. The Editor-in-Chief recognizes your skills in operations management and appoints you to determine the underlying cause of a problem they are facing. The journal demands 9 articles per year, but the article production process is not keeping up that rate of demand. You find out that, on average, you have 6 article generating resources (professors, industry experts, deans, etc.) and that the production time to generate an article is roughly 10 months. You talked to the Dean who agreed to either: (a) give some of these resources work release which effectively would reduce the average article generation time down to 7 months, or (b) find you an additional resource bringing your total to 7 resources. Which do you prefer? (a) work release (b) additional resource
