Subject: Problem at the factory
Mr. Green,
As you know, factory production decreased this quarter. My team recently concluded an analysis of the problem. I believe we determined what caused the downturn.
When dealing with systems (either open systems or closed systems), we can always use the universal accounting equation (UAE). This equation helps us measure changes to extensive quantities over time. Using the UAE, we can account for the final state of a system. We start with the initial state. Then, we add input and generation. These are materials along the assembly line. We also subtract consumption and output. According to our calculations, extensive quantities are behaving normally.

However, an intensive quantity is affecting productivity. The temperature in the supply room is too cold for the plastic you use. The plastic pieces are so cold that they shatter on the assembly line. This increases consumption without also increasing generation. I recommend another assessment after a temperature adjustment in the supply room.

Sincerely,
Patti Addams
