Chapter 9 - The Unexpected Architect

"You've been watching the logistics, haven't you?" the man asked.
"I have," Ryan said.
"Why?"
"Because things can be done better."
The foreman handed him a tablet.

Ryan didn't hesitate.
He took the logistics data and spent the night rearranging the flow.
By morning, he presented a new model for the warehouse operations.
It cut loading time by forty percent.
The foreman stared at the screen, then at Ryan.
"Where did you learn to think like this?"
"I had to learn how to survive," Ryan said.
"Well, you're the new manager," the foreman said.
