Q Read the application at the end of Chapter 1 titled "Staffing Strategy for a New Plant." Develop answers for the six questions. In question 1, include the specific city and state you determine is best for the new plant and why you chose this location. Address each question separately, providing reason(s) for your choices, and numbering to match the questions. 1. What geographic location might be best for the plant in terms of attracting sufficient quantity and quality of labor, especially for the key jobs?

Q 2. Should the plant manager come from inside the current managerial ranks or should it be sought from the outside?

Q 3. Should staffing be based on just the person/job match or also on the person/organization match?

Q 4. Would it make sense to initially staff the plant with a flexible workforce by using temporary employees and then shift over to core workforce if it looks like the plant will be successful

Q 5. In the early stages, should the plant be fully staffed, understaffed or overstaffed?

Q 6. Will employee retention likely be a problem, and if so, how will this affect the viability of the plant?
