Candidate view
A parcel hub in Dubai that cannot cope with peak season
The prompt
Interviewer: "A delivery company runs a parcel hub in Dubai, open 20 hours a day. In the 90-day peak season, 200,000 parcels arrive a day. The hub cannot handle them all, so the overflow goes to a subcontractor, which costs AED 5 more per parcel. The step capacities are in the table with this case. Management wants to buy an automated sorter for AED 40 million. What do you recommend?" (Fictional company, illustrative figures.)
Your interviewer will share data as you ask for it. Ask clarifying questions, state a hypothesis, then lay out your structure out loud before you calculate.
