- TOYS AND JOB DESIGN AT THE HOVEY AND BEARD COMPANY The following is a situation that occurred in the Hovey and Beard Company, as reported by J. V. Clark. This company manufactured a line of wooden toys. One part of the process involved spray painting partially assembled toys, after which the toys were hung on moving hooks that carried them through a drying oven. The operation, staffed entirely by women, was plagued with absenteeism, high turnover, and low morale. Each woman at her paint booth would take a toy from the tray beside her, position it in a fixture, and spray on the color according to the required pattern. She then would release the toy and hang it on the conveyor hook. The rate at which the hooks moved had been calculated so that each woman, once fully trained, would be able to hang a painted toy on each hook before it passed beyond her reach. The women who worked in the paint room were on a group incentive plan that tied their earnings to the…arrow_forwardDescribe the approach to job design and how it relates to the improvement of jobs and the formation of teams.arrow_forwardIdentify and explain three environmental factors (either internal or external) that are currently influencing the management at Newbridge.

- In August 2017, hurricane Maria hit Miami, Florida, and the Optima Air Filter Company. Many employees’ homes were devastated. Optima found that it had to hire almost three completely new crews, one for each shift. The problem was that the “old-timers” had known their jobs so well that no one had ever bothered to draw up job descriptions for them. When about 30 new employees began taking their places, there was general confusion about what they should do and how they should do it. The flood quickly became old news to the firm’s out-of-state customers, who wanted filters, not excuses. Phil Mann, the firm’s president, was at his wits’ end. He had about 30 new employees, 10 old-timers, and his original factory supervisor, Maybelline. He decided to meet with Linda Lowe, a consultant from the local university’s business school. She immediately had the old-timers fill out a job questionnaire that listed all their duties.
