Activity Flow time Deluxe (minutes) 1 20 2 35 3 45 4 10 5 45 6 30 7 25 8 40 The Evanstonian is an upscale independent hotel that caters to both business and leisure travelers. When a guest calls room service at The Evanstonian, the room-service manager takes down the order. The service manager then submits an order ticket to the kitchen to begin preparing the food. She also gives an order to the sommelier (i.e., the wine waiter) to fetch wine from the cellar and to prepare any other alcoholic bever- ages. Finally, she assigns the order to a waiter. It takes 4 minutes to take down the order and to assign the work to the kitchen, sommelier, and waiter. It takes the kitchen 18 minutes to prepare the typical order. It takes the sommelier 6 minutes to prepare the drinks for the order. While the kitchen and the som- melier are doing their tasks, the waiter readies a cart (i.e., puts a tablecloth on the cart and gathers silver-ware). This takes 10 minutes per order. Once the food, wine, and cart are ready, the waiter delivers it to the guest's room. It takes the waiter 12 minutes to deliver the meal to the customer. It takes the waiter additional 4 minutes to return to the station and debit the guest's account. All the times men- tioned represent flow time at the various activities, and include the effects of waiting.
