How to Play
Your employer—an airline—wants your team to reduce
turnaround time
: the amount of time planes spend on the ground between flights.
For each plane, each team member simultaneously chooses an effort level: how many minutes to reduce her usual work time.
You make your choice by moving the slider and pressing Submit.
Payoff Computation
You incur a cost for each minute you save in completing your task.
Reduction in turnaround time equals the
smallest
effort level chosen by anyone in your group.
Each member of the group receives a bonus for each minute reduction in turnaround time.
Example
You saved 4 minutes. Your three group members saved 3, 5 and 7 minutes.
