2.7 Sourcing and Staffing
2.7.1 Staff
Workers are needed to assemble and install kits and, therefore, will need to be
trained to install the technology. Since this is a highly specialized task, a training crew is
required. The majority of the training will occur at plant start-up. Standardized training
procedures are planned as operation continues. This standardized training will then be
administered to any new hires. Even though it is in the company‘s interest to cut costs,
workers will not be exploited, and will be paid competitive salaries.
A product support and troubleshooting branch is required. This will ensure
product quality and allow for streamlined problem solving capabilities within Isopomoto.
In order to maintain a good reputation and fulfill the company‘s goal of premium
customer service, a convenient and easy-to-use support center will be created.
