Problem of Keeping Dairy Plants Supplied with the Foreman-Type Employee¹

Department of Dairy Technology, The Ohio State University, Columbus

ABSTRACT

The demands of the modern dairy industry place a premium on company programs designed to obtain and retain qualified personnel at all levels of responsibility. The larger dairy units, the greater extent of mechanization and automation in the plants, the enlargement in the complexities of the various in-plant operations, and management's insistence upon maximum efficiency—all serve to justify any action an organization may take to provide personnel strength. Furthermore, the interplay of contrasting personalities which occur daily within the organization, involving such aspects as Union-Management relations, employee attitudes, human relations and personnel morale, place an extra responsibility on management to select key members of the working force who are ethical and responsible and have at least some appreciation and understanding of Management's role.

If the organization is to be efficient, its entire manpower chain must be strong—from the bottom to the top. A weak link in this chain, due to poorly qualified persons at a given level, will cause problems for the company, or perhaps real disaster.
