Part A: Initial Post

Go to McGraw-Hill Practice Operations to view the scenario:

Students are to complete Unit 5: Discussion - Human Resources and Capacity Planning (Scenario) in Practice Operations. Based on their observations in this scenario, and upon a careful review of the available literature, the student is to consider him - or herself to be the Production Manager of Kibby and Strand, the company in the scenario.

The CEO is thinking of expanding Kibby and Strand, and you are tasked to create a data collection plan and measurement criteria for how production output and product quality will be measured. In addition, the HR manager asks for a list of qualifications and skill sets required for additional staff to operate and maintain new equipment planned for the expansion. Create your job ad to include qualifications and desired skill sets.

The student is to create the data collection plan, measurement criteria, and job qualifications list based on knowledge learned in the scenario, and post it in the discussion.
