Farmer's and Sons Limited (FSL) manufactures leather shoes for several prominent shoe stores in Jamaica. In the last year, the company has been experiencing significant absenteeism across several departments in the organization, in particular the cutting department.

The impact has been so far reaching that there are days when no production is done as there are insufficient individuals to cut and operate all the machines in the process.

The middle managers have made recommendations for improvements to the factory, however many of these have been overlooked because of cost implications.
