Flowchart Memo
A bottleneck occurs in the cinema auditorium when multiple films let out all at the same time. As there is only about 20 to 25 minute gap between the end of the film and the start of the next showing, ushers have a limited amount of time to get into each auditorium following the end of the film to clean it so as to allow patrons to be seated. When several films let out all at once, ushers do not have sufficient time to clean out each auditorium so that it is ready for the next set of patrons. They will focus on cleaning 1 or 2 auditoriums, but meanwhile a large group of patrons will be forced to wait in the lobby, causing a bottleneck in the lobby area, where it becomes difficult for other customers to get where they are going, whether it is to an auditorium that is open or to the concession stand where they desire to buy concessions or to the ticket booth so that they can buy tickets to a show. This bottleneck problem is depicted in Flowchart 1.
Even with effective crowd control measures in place, the large group of patrons can quickly become a problem because of overflow and the way that bottleneck can deter patrons from seeking to purchase items at the concession stand, which is where the cinema derives its main source of profits. Decreased sales at the concession stand lead to decreased revenues for the cinema. Busy times of the day and evening should be accompanied by high revenue at the concession stand, but bottleneck causes patrons to turn away from the stand because of the way the crowds overflow the crowd control measures and create veritable chaos in the lobby. Few patrons want to navigate that chaos and as the concession stand is not as busy as...
…discernible difference in the bottleneck issue has been measured, we could further tweak the pilot project by staggering the films in a different way or we could abandon the pilot project all together. I feel that two weeks time should be sufficient to see whether this solution would work or not. Considering that we are in the busy season right now with many people coming out to the cinema to see their favorite films, now is a good time to implement this project.Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share these ideas with you, and I look forward to your response. I think it would be a great way to see if we can make this cinema run more efficiently by solving the bottleneck issue in the lobby that has been a problem all summer long. Please see the flowcharts below as an example of what I have developed.

Though some nations have adopted laws prohibiting interfaith marriage, especially in contexts where theocracy rules, others yet are simple obstruction in unity by social and cultural barriers. Marriage is surely one way to undermine the perceived meaning of such barriers. To this extent, "the first problem to be confronted by anyone interested in bringing about a Hindu-Muslim theological dialogue would be to motivate both sides to enter into such dialogue with openness and seriousness. To have such

Jesus learn from John the Baptist? How is the movement of Jesus different from John's? According to Rausch, John the Baptist is "clearly a historical figure" who was not necessarily preaching anything new or revelatory (p. 1). John the Baptist works within the prophetic tradition and his teachings were rooted in Jewish Old Testament philosophy, eschatology, and theology. When Jesus went to see and meet with John the Baptist, the event
Whistle Blowing Introduction and History of Whistle Blowing Whistle blowing is the revealing of immoral, illegal or illegitimate deeds to authorities. The authorities may be insiders or from outside the affected organization. Many cases of whistle blowing involve people revealing information to outsiders especially media organizations or pressure groups about an act they consider to be irresponsible, irregular or illegal (Robbins, 1993). Cases of whistle blowing have increased dramatically in the recent
.....theoretical perspectives to understand human development is stage theories, which postulate that human development takes place in different stages and change throughout the life span (Lerner et al., 2013, p.466). Erikson's Psychosocial Theory is an example of a theory under this perspective, which state that there are eight stages of psychosocial development that are biologically developed to manifest in a pre-determined, sequential way. Through this theory, Erikson effectively demonstrates that
