Can you solve it for me plz?

‘Lakeside Manufacturing’ is a boating company that specializes in sailboats for sailing schools and Jules Paulson is the owner of the company. His lead foreman and second in command is Kevin Hill. There are a small core group of 15 employees who are fulltime and experienced in their trade and sailing. Unfortunately, over the summertime, the permanent employees like to take their vacation so they can go sailing. ‘Lakeside Manufacturing’ makes sure that at any given time over the summertime period, only 25% of the permanent staff are away at any given time so that 75% are still doing their usual jobs. This has worked to some extent; however, there are times the company feels short staffed.

Last year, Kevin had an idea that over the summer, they could hire some seasonal workers to do the work of those who are away. Kevin spoke to Jules and said that maybe they could hire students from the local university during the summer to do some of the tasks. Part of the requirement was that they either should have some boating experience or be able to know some of the woodworking or electrical work. Summer last year, it did not work so well because the students started and were randomly placed to fill gaps among the teams where the full-time employees were away on vacation. There were some challenges and tensions that would arise because the students were not as skilled at the work that the experienced employees were. Added to that, the students would have headphones on while working, taking texting moments or take breaks when they felt like and had a different perspective and attitude about the work. This annoyed some of the older experienced workers.

This year, Kevin thought that he would hire 10 students over the summer but instead of having them integrate into the work that was being done by the older more senior workers, he thought that it might be better to have all the 10 students in one team and separate from the experienced workers who were there and somewhat annoyed by the behaviour of the students. Kevin trained the students and was their liaison so that any questions or problems would be answered by him. A number of the students came back from last year so that the training was not too difficult. He also outlined what they needed to do and was less rigid on breaks and how the work was done, except that things had to be completed with care, quality and on time.

As the summer went on, the students got very good at their tasks because they were good with technology and also knew that if they would finish early, they could have free time. A healthy rivalry and competition started to emerge between the experienced workers and the students. It was productive and things were working out…for a while. Eventually, the student employees would say how fast they could work, and the older employees were slower. It was also not uncommon for the students to head over to where the older employees were working and make comments, which started to make the more experienced employees annoyed. The organization started to see two camps of employees instead of everyone working together.

Now, instead of everyone working together and feeling like they were part of ‘Lakeside Manufacturing’, both sides were either making fun of the other side or hiding tools and supplies from the other side so it would slow the other side down. It was starting to get out of hand and the owner, Jules Paulson, called Kevin Hill in to his office and said that he thinks that it might be better to not have the two sides and it might be better to just break both sides up and reassign the teams so they were all working together. Kevin thought that this might not be a good idea because he was pretty sure most, if not all, of the students would quit. Kevin has called you for your advice and thoughts on how to resolve this situation.

1. This week we talked about how a free market can achieve an efficient outcome when demand curves reflect total willingness to pay (WTP) for a good and supply curves reflect total social cost of producing the good. But those conditions are often not met, such as when production of the good creates negative externalities. If Farmer Ben produces apple cider and dumps his apple waste into the creek behind his barn, what negative externality might that create? Make up a particular individual who could be affected by the apple waste in the creek and tell me about the negative spillover.

Quip was founded to prove that good design would have a bigger impact on oral health than quick fix gimmicks.

Quip's journey began at a neighborhood dentist in New York, and a suggestion to use "the cheapest electric brush available" to fight the common, and damaging, habit of brushing too hard. It turned out that years of toothbrush "innovation" had barely improved the humble toothbrush and, instead, had only served to overshadow the far more damaging, habitual problems that still persist. Brushing too hard, not brushing long enough, not brushing twice a day, not replacing your brush and not going to the dentist are issues that are ignored yet have a far bigger impact on oral health than a "Bluetooth Ultra Sonic" toothbrush alone could ever have.

As designers, this challenge excited us. Unshackled by the constraints of a board room, marketing team or finance department, we were uniquely positioned to set out with the honest aim of solving these core problems without bias, using the product and user experience design skills we knew best. We soon realized that there were three main causes behind the core problems: over-complex and confusing functionality, over-designed and clunky products, and a total lack of services to cater to the modern lifestyle. So we set about creating a more honest, accessible and simple oral care line that would cut out the excess to help focus on the basics that really matter.

After years of user research and design, the core components of quip came together. A simple service that focused on the dental tips and tools that really matter, cutting out those that don't. However, the only way for us to truly simplify and remove the excess, was to base quip online, cutting out the middle man and bringing the benefits we worked so hard for, directly to you. By doing this, we can improve every aspect of your experience, from design to delivery, and provide the best experience at the best price, without interference. We are quip, and we are the modern bridge between you and your dentist, and this is just the beginning...

Quip’s promise to our customers is that we “align with dentist advice and put what is best for your teeth before all else, to never stop improving our products and reduce our environmental impact, to strive to be available 24/7, and become your one stop solution for oral health.”
