Your great uncle Luigi, the 1960's King of frozen Italian foods has left the building. He recently died. Since you were his only living relative, you get his distribution business. Since your uncle was the king in the 1960's, the business is still operating in the 1960's. The situation you inherited is as follows:

• High picking error rate
• No accurate inventory counts
• All picking done by hand
