Question: Year 6 1 Production workers have started to slow down and you're having problems with the union. Demand is outstripping supply and the home office

Year 61
Production workers have started to slow down and you're having problems with the union. Demand is outstripping supply and the home office has said you can run as much overtime as you want, just don't hire anyone new. One of your floor managers suggests splitting up the workers into work teams with built-in incentives to those who work smarter and/or faster. You ok the plan and productivity has jumped 50% within three months, with many of the workers making more money and your overtime not rising as much as anticipated. The downside is that worker-related accidents have increased. Yesterday, you tour the plant floor and find that some of the most productive workers are using a unique type of software. When you investigate you find that it was "acquired" from another company by some energetic employees and is proprietary to that company.
