min challenge

Fishy Inc. operates an onshore fish farming facility, which consists of three large, interconnected tanks to store, feed and grow fish until they are big enough for harvest.

Fishy Inc. moves the fish in three stages. They first release a new batch of fish into tank 1. After a while, the fish grows larger and density restrictions force the operators to move a part of the batch to the second tank. At last, they need to move the fish yet again and utilize tank 3 as well. They move some of the fish to the third tank, before the whole batch is harvested and sold when the fish are big enough. All the tanks are then washed before a new batch is released in tank 1 again.

Fishy Inc. has created a simple list-based production plan for the next month, which you can find below. However, Fishy Inc. needs your help to visualize the company’s production plan in a more comprehensible, beautiful, and user-friendly way. The task is to create a conceptual design draft of anything that would make sense in this regard, whether it is a Gantt chart, calendar, timeline, notification system, or something entirely different.

Good luck! Send an image of your final draft to anine@solutionseeker.no and be in the running for a 32” HD smart-TV!
