In order to run a successful restaurant I must keep labor costs low and in order to keep labor costs low I must send employees home when business slows down.. But, in order to run a successful restaurant I must also ensure customers receive fast and efficient service and in order to ensure customers receive fast and efficient service I must keep employees on the clock to help out during a potential rush..

| Relation | Assumption(s) | Injection(s) |
| B-D | the more employees that are clocked in at one time, the higher my labor costs will be. | However, if in fact I am able to efficiently serve more customers by having these employees stay clocked in, my throughput will increase as a result of doing so. |
| C-D' | it is difficult to quickly serve customers when we are under-staffed. |
