After graduating with a degree in operations
After graduating with a degree in operations management from CSUS, Joan found her job of a lifetime at Arctic Savings of Nome, Alaska, and she was put in charge of operations. A memo from her assistant, Dave, a classmate of hers at CSUS, dealt with waiting lines at ATMs. Recently, I heard customer complaints of intolerable waiting times at our ATM. I suggest we study the matter further. I would like your approval to hire 50 data collectors to view waiting lines around the state. This entire process should be completed in three weeks at a cost of less than $100,000.- Joan sadly shook her head and thought, "If only Dave had paid more attention in operations class.
