Evan Anderson is the managing editor of the monthly magazine for the collegiate members of Alpha Beta Gamma National Fraternity. The Alpha Beta Gamma Record is a 16-page, two-color magazine with a circulation of 2,400. There are two large phases of publishing the magazine. The first phase encompasses those tasks which the editor, Evan, performs himself. Evan is responsible for all facets of the magazine's production, from conception to preparation for the printer. His tasks and each task's predecessor(s) are delineated in Table 1. Data from the magazine's files show the longest, most likely, and shortest time for each job; these are also presented in Table 1. Evan believes these are reasonable estimates of the maximum, most probable, and minimum times that would be encountered TABLE 1 Evan's tasksTime (days)MostActivity Predecessor(s)DescriptionLongestShortestLikelyGreek happenings andcorrespondenceA21---Conceptualizing the currentB51.51issueApplying happenings tocurrent issueA1.510.5С, вс, вС, вEDResearch or resource review2.50.750.5EInterview with national officer222FPhotograph subjects111GPhotograph interviewee222HF, GDeveloping photographs1.2510.75IHPrinting photographs2.52Interview notes convertedE3into copy (text)Research notes converted intoKD22соруCopy rewrite, corrections, andaccurate typingLK, J321LCopy submitted for review22Correction of reviewed copy111Copy folder compiled0.50.50.5PIPhoto folder compiled0.50.50.5о, РThumbnail layout sketch1.510.5Submission of photos forgalleys*RO,PManuscript to printer111*Galleys are typeset columns of submitted manuscript copy that is camera ready.The second phase includes those activities that the printer performs. The editor, of course, checks theprinter's work for accuracy, but the primary responsibility for the completion of these tasks falls on theprinter.For the past few months, Evan has been faced with delays in completing the final product. Despite hisefforts to produce a quality magazine at peak efficiencies, the delays recurred. These repeated delaysnaturally cause delays in mailing the subscriptions. Since the Alpha Beta Gamma Record is the onlysource of information on upcoming regional events for collegiate members, it is important that thepublication be released on time so that the members have ample time to register for these functions.Most of these regional activities are not parties. Although they are designed to be enjoyable, thenational organization has long emphasized the development of individual qualities, such asover partying. Since many Alpha Beta Gamma alumni attend these functions, the collegians like toattend in order to make contacts with people with whom they might seek employment in a few years.Therefore, it is crucial that the issues be completed on time.s leadership,Since he cannot control the operations of his present printer, Thrift Print, Evan decided to investigatethe possibility of changing printers in order to meet his deadlines for the magazine. He found anotherprinter, Kwik Print, for a comparable price. The description of the second phase's activities, eachactivity's predecessors, and the most likely times for their completions for the respective printers isfound in Table 2. Experience with Thrift Print and talks with Kwik Print have led Evan to believe thatthese times will have little variation around these values.TABLE 2 Printer's tasksActivityPredecessor(s)DescriptionThrift Print TimeKwik PrintGalleys typesetGalleys to editor and corrected11VUGalleys returned to printer11PasteupPages* to editor for correctionR, V3110.5YPages to printer11YBlueline** sent to editor41AABlueline returned to printer11Customer copiesBBAA43*Pages are photocopies of' the galleys pasted up into magazine format.
