| Relation | Assumption(s) | Injection(s) |
| D-D' | You cannot keep the same exact hours of break because the machines will not be working at all time. | Find a solution of rotation between the employees so everyone can have a break time |
| B-D | Changing the work hours will allow me to have an employee work at the machine at all time | If my employees go on strike, then I cannot place employees at the machines all time. |
| C-D' | If I change or break the contract with the union, employees could go on strike or quit the job | If I can come up with some kind of a balance policy with the union then employees will not need to go on strike |
| A-B | Having the machine work at full capacity will be capable of increasing profit. | If we use the older machine and it allow us to eliminate the bottleneck ,then we don't need to change or break the contract with the union. |
| A-C | If the employees are unsatisfied, they will not be productive and efficient. Without those necessary conditions, I wont be able to reach my desire goal which is having a profitable company. | If we use machines instead of people then they will not be necessary to ensure that employees are fully satisfied. |
