Just for Fun (no response necessary) Two operations analysts were traveling by airplane from SLC to New York. About an hour into the flight, the pilot announced that they had lost an engine, but not to worry as there were three engines still functioning. However, instead of 4 hours, it would take 6 hours to get to New York due to reduced air speed. A little later, he announced that a second engine failed, and they still had two left, but it would take 10 hours to get to New York. Somewhat later, the pilot again came on the intercom and announced that a third engine had died. Never fear, he announced, because the plane could fly on a single engine. However, it would now take 16 hours to get to New York. At this point, one operations analyst turned to the other and said, “Gee, I hope we don’t lose that last engine, or else my forecast predicts we’ll be up here forever!” (Whew! You are all done with the exam.)

Company A and Company B both perform routine lubrication services for automobiles. Company A carries out the service using one employee to complete the service in 1 hour. Company B uses a team of three employees working together to complete the service in 20 minutes. You may assume that adequate demand exists for Companies A and B to keep each of them busy and focus your attention on the servicing of a given car. Compare the operational performance of the two companies in terms of: a) labor productivity b) other relevant dimensions of operational performance and competitiveness (Make sure to respond to both a) and b). Each response should be longer than a couple of sentences to demonstrate full understanding.)
