Assignment 2 - Case Study 2 A large manufacturing organization which has two plants, a corporate head office and five sales offices at different locations in the country, is embarked on a capacity expansion strategy. It is planning to double its production and sales in the next two years. The expansion is taking place because the company has acquired a new robotic manufacturing technology which has not only increased production capacity and product quality significantly but has also reduced costs substantially. A new software has also brought sales transactions online and has digitized sales operations. The new technology has raised sales by 180% and profits by 210%. However, manpower is being reduced by 20% despite the fact that as part of the capacity expansion, a new plant and office will be set up in a neighboring country. Given the expansion of the company, 1. What should be the five main objectives of the company's HR strategy? Explain each HR function's role in implementing the HR strategy? 2. The company wants to downsize. What steps should it take to redesign its structure and downsize? 3. In order to induct the new technology, an intensive training program has to be implemented at all its locations. Describe the process that should be followed in designing this training program. Please give detailed assumptions, reasons and justifications for your answers. Apply the concepts, processes and practices taught in the course. Weight 15%
