Problem
Scenario: Ralph and Clarence have decided to combine their educational and business talents to start up a lumber business to sell various types of lumber to Europe. This includes hiring personnel who can cut down, buck, and deliver lumber to the yard where they will be placed into containers, delivered to the nearest port, and then loaded onto vessels bound for the various customers overseas. Explain how you could apply a cause and effect analysis to this situation. Apply either the 4 Ws (what, when, where, and why), the 5 Ms (machines, manpower, materials, measurements, and methods) or the 5 Ps (place, people, provisions, patrons, and procedures) to this situation as well.
