Let's pretend you work for Southwest Airlines. Let's pretend you're in charge of getting luggage from the airplanes back to the passengers. Let's pretend that customers are regularly unhappy, because it takes too long. (OK, you don't have to pretend, just check in a bag and fly to Oakland.) With Project Factory.Modz(), you could model the baggage claim process and determine where the bottlenecks are. Imagine that. At Southwest bags may fly free, but claiming them adds 40 minutes to your trip. This only happens in Oakland. Other Southwest airports seem to do just fine.

Southwest Airlines employee or not, please try it and let us know your thoughts, criticisms, and suggestions at [email protected] or the discussion forum. Your experience shapes the future of our technology.

Preventing factory layout confusion is alive in the lab.
