The workforce changes that we have already seen in both the private and public sector include: increases in the number of women, increases in foreign-born or immigrant workers, and increases in the average age of workers.In this Discussion, you will examine the evolution of an organization's workforce and consider the implications on human resource management. You will develop strategies to capitalize on a changing workforce. For this Discussion, review this week’s Resources.

Seven general types of facility layouts have been developed to help managers decide the best placement of materials, people and information within a facility or office. Two of the layouts - process-oriented and product-oriented - are used in production facilities. The process-oriented layout usually is used for low-volume, high-variety production whereas the product-oriented layout is generally used for repetitive processes like those found in assembly lines. Research a firm that uses one of these two layouts. Describe your selected firm's layout and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each layout. Recommend changes that would improve your selected firm's layout.Post & RespondPost your selected company's layout type, the advantages and disadvantages of each layout, and your recommendations for improvement by the fourth day of the module week. Return later in the module week to respond to your peers. You must make your initial post before you can see the posts of your classmates.
