Problem Statement
Arriving at JFK airport in New York from overseas requires a sequence of immigration and customs-clearing activities before a passenger can board a domestic flight for home.

What is the bottleneck activity and maximum number of passengers who can be processed per hour? What would you recommend to improve the balance of this process?
