Dave is Alex and Julie’s young son and Sharon’s brother. Because of his career, Alex struggles to spend time with Dave. However, when Dave takes Alex on the Boy Scout overnight hike, Alex realizes that the hikers (who all hike at different speeds and thus delay one another) symbolize his manufacturing process, and that he can use them as a model for how to work with bottlenecks in the factory. As Alex learns to manage his plant better, he also starts spending more time with Dave and inviting him to help him solve theoretical problems at the plant.

Quotes
Our hike is a set of dependent events…in combination with statistical fluctuations. Each of us is fluctuating in speed, faster and slower. But the ability to go faster than average is restricted. It depends upon all the others ahead of me in line. So even if I could walk five miles per hour, I couldn’t do it if the boy in front of me could only walk two miles per hour. And even if the kid directly in front of me could walk that fast, neither of us could do it unless all the boys in the line were moving at five miles per hour at the same time.
