You are the senior technology manager in Company X.

In the last fiscal year, the average productivity of the production floor labor force has been significantly lower than previous annual averages. You and your team have been asked to address the productivity issue.

Part 1: As a technology manager, how would you address this issue?

• Clearly explain what methods, tools you would incorporate?
• In what order would you utilize these tools?

Part 2: Create a flow chart that clearly shows your overall approach to solve this productivity issue in the production floor.  This flow chart should be developed based on your answer to part 1.
