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.
