popular, Sanchit was keen to find tout the reason. He appointed Sandhya, an MBA
from a reputed college, as a Manager to find out the causes for the same. Sandhya
took feedback from the clients and found out that though they loved the special
unique aroma of coffee but were not happy with the long waiting time being taken
to process the order. She analysed and found out that there were many unnecessary
obstructions in between which could be eliminated. She fixed a standard time for
processing the order. She also realised that there were some flavours whose
