For the case assignment, I’d like you to focus on the issue of recruitment and selection in greater detail. Begin by reading the following fictitious case:Nifty Plastic Parts, Inc.This company is an injection molder manufacturing small plastic parts for other manufacturers. Most of their customers are located within four hours of the plant located in St. Louis. They produce parts for about 30 different, well-known companies. Nifty has been in operation for 35 years and employs about 500 employees. Nifty has been listed on the stock exchange for the past 12 years.The Company President and you (the HR Manager), have been working on a succession plan for Nifty based on a three-year horizon.Within three years or so four of your key managers/supervisors plan to retire. Three of them began working for Nifty within its first five years of operation.One of the most immediate challenges is finding the next Manufacturing Manager for Nifty.Nifty’s Manufacturing Manager joined the company 31 years ago as an injection molding machine operator. He gradually moved up through the positions of material handler, set-up technician and shift foreman. He was eventually promoted to Manufacturing Manager. During this time he attended first evening classes and then online classes and completed a bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business administration from Trident University. As Manufacturing Manager he is a member of the company’s management team and the President has a lot of respect for his opinions. Over the years, his career path, performance and fair decisions have earned him respect from others. He is also a valuable player because he knows the company inside and out and is an excellent leader in plastic injection processes. In fact, the employees recognize his expertise and appreciate his recommendations because they know he has performed their jobs in the past. The Manufacturing Manager would like to retire within 10 months.You, with the Manufacturing Manager’s approval, recently hired a few young employees straight out of college with good technical skills who might be ready to take on additional challenges. In fact, three of them have expressed interest in the Manufacturing Manager’s position.Case AssignmentPlease answer the following:What should be the required qualifications for the Manufacturing Manager’s position?
