You work with a local charity to sponsor a Run For The Cure in your community. You are a platinum sponsor and contribute $2,000. Although it's impossible to predict exactly, you know that about 0.8% of the 8,000 runners try your restaurant within a week. If your average check is $45 and your gross margin percentage is 80%, does the sponsorship pay for itself just based on this immediate business?

Draw a flowchart for a process of interest to you, such as a quick oil-change service, a factory process you might have worked in, ordering a pizza, renting a car or truck, buying products on the internet, or applying for an automobile loan. identify the points where something (people, information) waits for service or is held in work-in-process inventory, the estimated time to accomplish each activity in the process, and the total flow time. evaluate how well the process worked and what might be done to improve it.
