You have addressed many important human resources issues related to expansion. Since this organzation plans to continue such an expansion, a new position of logistics manager is being developed to help organize and manage resources across facilities and with suppliers.
Using Bloomberg Businessweek B-School Connection resources, research job analysis and create a draft paper of 750 that addresses the following:
1. Discuss the process you would use to develop this new position.
2. What role does job analysis play in developing a job description and subsequent job posting?
3. Specifically, which job analysis techniques would you use, and why?
4. Why should more than 1 technique be used?
5. Once the job analysis and subsequent job description are developed, how can the organization use this information to make this position a success?
6. Process improvement in the organization from a production and operations management is a key component of the Logistics Manager position. Considering this, describe the potential selection criteria that you will use for the new Logistics Manager.
