For a big library where everyday 1000 books are returned and the books must be on shelf within four hours of return.what would be a systematic process design for this operation?
Well, in order to get all of the books back where they belong in their specific order and to have them that way all the time, it is ALMOST impossible. And it probably is. But in a big library, like you said, they are probably able to hire lots of workers. Here is the plan that i came up with. 1. For a library with a childrens section, a young adult section, an adult section, a nonfiction section, and a reference section, (or at least the first three), hire 7 workers per section. If needed, teenage workers can be hired for this simple job. 2. Have the workers be on alert all the time for incoming returning books and have a rule that the return box must be emptied once every 30 minutes. One worker would be assigned to sorting the books to the certain sections, and would pass out the books to the other workers, who would then put the books on the shelves according to whatever system is set up at that library. 3. At the end of the day, have all of the workers walk around the library looking for stray books laying on the floor or sitting on the tables and they should be put back according to sections and systems. That's it! It's pretty simple once it gets started. A 14 year old would be capable of doing that...it is so simple. That's all!
