Situation:
Balaji Distributing Company, a southwestern distributor of health and beauty supplies is faced with a housekeeping problem in their receiving areas. On several visits to these departments, the supervisor has found them cluttered with trash and empty cardboard shipping cartons. An examination of the receiving operations indicates that when a large shipment of material is received the items are removed from their shipping cartons and placed on racks. The empty cartons and packing materials are left on the floor. Periodically, or when the order unpackers cannot move, someone flattens and stacks these refuse materials.
