Situation:


The Sure To Peal Paint Company stores all its metal compressed gas containers in a warehouse.

These long cylindrical metal tanks contain various gases used in manufacturing cans of spray paint.

The gas tanks are delivered to the warehouse by truck. Two receiving dock workers unload the

containers from the delivery trucks and place them on four wheel trucks. Two materials handlers

are responsible for pushing the loaded trucks into the warehouse, unloading the tanks and setting

them up on end. The two materials handlers spend a major portion of their day moving loads of

the gas tanks into the warehouse and placing them into the proper storage locations. In total, there

are five different types of gases that in equal proportion make up 98% of all gas handled.
