On aTuesday morning, one of ITEXX’s sales managers asks John to reschedule his manufacturingjobs for the rest of the week to accommodate a special order from a new customer. The catchis that getting the customer requires fast turnaround on the order and means not only delayingthe current production schedule, but also running the production equipment all three shifts forthe remainder of the week.
