5. Why? Root Cause: No place to store personal belongings.
Kit publishing has stalled
1.Why? Queue is growing.
2.Why? Kits not being delivered.
3. Why? Origin server not accepting kits.
4. Why? Vendor’s origin servers designed for high output, not high input.
5. Why? Root Cause: Input rate was not defined as a requirement a year ago.
