Summary Introduction

Case summary:

Frank is a manager for the North Woods company's Minessota plant. Here Somali workers are hired for assembly line. They have their customs and rituals and currently they are allowed to break the assembly line to offer their prayers. However the company plans to increase the work and hire 40 more workers. This could cause a hindrance to the smooth assembly flow, especially during the sunset time where the muslims have to offer sunset prayers.

Characters in the case:

To determine:
