    No. It's from a book, the book isn't even about problem solving, this problem was just mentioned in the book, to illustrate something. We'll propose other problems ourselves, or I'll design other problems.

    Even if you're doing this to see how people would react. That can't be it since you're skewing the vote intentionally. That only leaves the question why waste your time?

    I'm not doing so?
    I am taking note of those who voted 'YES' (votes are visible). The ratio is irrelevant, only the raw members who voted yes matter.

    see, that's the thing tho, @Dupe2818 , if you are only looking to increase productivity in the short term and not concern yourself with the long term benefits, then for sure, that's the best solution. after all, you want to see efficiency, so the best person takes the most difficult job. but the key aspect here is the law of diminishing returns - which the highly skilled guy is already facing - if you maintain the status quo on skill:work, that 20% efficiency will not only decrease over time, but you will also likely lose the most skilled guy you have due to boredom.

    I never said the expert's recommendation is optimum.

    earlier, you mentioned the increase in efficiency does mark it as a substantially correct response.
    as mentioned by another poster, the ideal would be to have an irregular cycle in place that would allow all three employees exposure to all three stages without overtly compromising efficiency. the cyle may reduce efficiency, say to around 10-15%, but it would be sustainable.

    The weakest person is given the weakest job.

    This should raise efficiency a lot since its one of the requirements for the 20% efficiency boost.

    The strongest and second strongest members switch jobs among themselves.

    That's the official solution.

    Taken your suggestions, we can maximise the amount of time the strongest spends on the first job, while curing their boredom.

    Whenever I am satisfied with the proposed solution, we can proceed.

    I'm satisfied with the answer I proposed, so we can proceed.

    My satisfaction with the answer. If I'm not satisfied with the answer, we cannot proceed.
