Every day, a worksheet for the previous day's production is created.

Susan discovers that her company is


putting in more hours than the industry average to fill production orders. The company is paying
employees for hours that it does not require—hours that should be reduced as production volume
decreases. In effect, losses from paying unnecessary wages during slower months ate into profits made
during busier months. Susan must promptly reduce worker hours whenever production volume declines
in order to compete with the industry and prevent a net loss on the fall and winter income statements.
