Summary Introduction
Case summary:
The case deals about the store that manufactures old Oregon tables. There are four employees (Person T, Person G, Person L, and Person C), who deal with the operations such as preparation, assembly, finishing, and packaging. Each one would deal with a specific operation. However, all the four are able to do all the four operations. Person R is hired to perform major duties and help when the employees are absent.

| Person L | 110 | 90 | 80 | 10 |
| Person C | 120 | 70 | 100 | 25 |
| Person R | 110 | 80 | 100 | 10 |

It had been a busy week for Rajiv, who supervises a road maintenance crew for the Georgia Department of Highways. In passing through Rajiv’s district a few days earlier, the governor had complained to the area superintendent that repairs were needed on several of the highways. Because of this, the superintendent assigned Rajiv’s crew an unusually heavy workload. In addition, Rajiv received a call from the human resource office that week telling him that the performance appraisals were late. Rajiv explained his predicament, but the HR specialist insisted that the forms be completed right away. Looking over the appraisals again, Rajiv thought about several of the workers.
