Coca Cola Corp. is recruiting outstandingindustrial engineers as junior consultants for its main office branches in the United States and Europe. Salary starts at $80,000 US dollars and up to $ 10,000 extra benefits per year as a productivitybonus.

A week ago, a Coca Cola employer tried to diagram the bottling production process of his Baton Rouge facility with the purpose of showing management and visitors the way this plant operates.However, the resulted diagram was confusing and difficult to follow and interpret, even by industrial engineers.

-Hypothesis: The diagram should explain how Coca-Cola is made.
