Scenario 1
You are a
Human Resources Manager of an expanding technology company consisting of 170
employees that develops and distributes small electronic devices. Over the past
two (2) years, a research group formed, designed, and built prototypes of small
remote surveillance cameras used for security. Recently, your company won a
contract to build and provide these remote surveillance cameras to various
government agencies. The contract will begin with your company supplying these
cameras to agencies within your home state. If all orders are fulfilled
sufficiently, the contract will be expanded to supplying agencies outside of
your home state.
For the
immediate future, you will need to secure a larger facility and hire more staff
to sustain the first part of the contract. This staff will consist of ten (10)
Assembly Technicians, one (1) Certified Quality Control Engineer, one (1)
Contract Administrator, and one (1) Office Support Paraprofessional. Meanwhile,
there is a contract clause requiring that you provide a staffing plan in order
to ensure future product deliveries and sustain the possible future
growth.
Scenario 2
You are a
former certified education administrator who departed your former position to
become the owner of a small, in-home day care consisting of you and a part-time
assistant where you care for children from age three (3) to age ten (10). Over
the course of time, your demographic population has increased due to
significant business growth that has resulted in many families relocating to
your area. With more businesses projected to move to the area and the building
of new housing developments, it is projected that this growth could be long
term.
You have
decided that this is a good opportunity to expand your day care business as you
have received many inquiries for childcare. In order to comply with your home
state regulations, you will require a larger facility and will need to hire
additional staff in order to sustain the larger demand for day care. This staff
will consist of five (5) Certified Day Care Professionals, one (1) Registered
Nurse Professional, five (5) After-School Assistants and one (1) Office Support
Paraprofessional. You have secured approval for a bank loan and qualify for
future loans for future expansion if your current endeavor is successful.
Meanwhile, the state in which you operate has requested that you provide a
staffing plan before it will issue licensure for your expanded capacity.
