At the start of the semester Custom Kicks personnel were struggling to quickly cstomize their shoe inserts to their customers' feet. This hurt sales as customers became frustrated during the customization process and would hesitate to refer friends.

Recognizing this challenge, management and key employees analyzed the customization process and made some time-saving changes.
