2) Describe how the human resources of the organization influenced the situation.
The human resources of my company played a large part in my decision making for this
situation. It was the main part actually. I had to consider how all the operators would
function within the group they were currently in and also how they would function with
the new team if I were to move them. I was under pressure to give the other group a great
operator that could get along with the current team and give good output. While at the
same time I did not want to hinder my own line.
The readings stated that “the human resource frame centers on what organizations and
people do to and for one another” This sums up my entire decision. I had to consider
peoples strengths and weakness, how they interacted or could interact with the current
groups and what output they would give for the organization. This decision was about
people and who would fit the best on each assembly line. I feel like this situation was
hard to not look at from the human resources frame. (Bolman, L. G., & Deal, T. E.)
3) Recommend how you would use the human resources for an alternative course of
action regarding your case.
I think the alternative course of action would have been to meet with the upper
management and appeal to them that there were other actions we could take. Such as
switch my slow operator to another line and get a strong operator from them to give to
the line that needed one. I could have appealed to them how important all the other
operators were to the assembly line.
I also could have had the discussion with the operators to see if anyone wanted to shift to
the other line. I think had I talked to them before making the decision it would have been
a different outcome. If they had a heads up that someone had to move and why then it
would not have ended with the one operator leaving the company.
4) Recommend Reflect on what you would do or not do differently given what you
have learned about this frame.
I think that I would have produced the same solution however I think I would have been
able to put a little more thought into it after learning about the frame. I also think that I
would have questioned the motives behind taking someone from my line also. I would have
pushed for my weaker assembler to move somewhere else and get a strong assembler from
that line. Then the two lines would benefit from the change. There are lines in my building
that would have been fine taking a slower performer. I think that I could have had more
conversations with my boss about the struggle I was having, and why, and possibly could
have changed the request.

Also, alternatively I could have decided to keep the other operator as he had more of
a connection with the other operators. This could have been a positive outcome as he may
have stayed with the company if I did not move him away from the friends he had made.
