Case Study:
In the United States, Toyota uses a selection assessment test designed to hire individuals to be employed as Toyota auto workers. Called the "Day of Work", this test is the most grueling part of a hiring process that can take months. At Toyota plants in Kentucky & West Virginia, the Day of Work is used regularly. Starting at 6.30 a.m., applicants work on a simulated assembly line for 4 hours & then spend several hours inspecting parts for defects. They also participate in a group problem-solving session & take written tests. This is all necessary just to be considered for a job at Toyota.
Another process is used by Carrier Corporation, which makes compressors for air conditioners with its workforce of 150 at its Arkadelphia, Arkansas, plant. If someone wants a job there, he or she must six-week course before even being considered being employment. The selection process weeds out 15 of every 16 applicants & provides Carrier Corporation with a top-quality workforce. High school graduates take a state test for job applicants first. Only one-third advance to the next step. References are closely checked, & then the applicants are interviewed both by managers & by the assembly-line workers with whom they will work. Those applicants who have satisfactory interviews take a six-week course that meets five nights a week for three hours, with some extra Saturdays. Attendees learn to read blueprints, do math (including metric calculations & statistical process control), use a computer, & engage in problem solving with others. At the end of the course, the applicants have not been hired (or paid) & have no assurance that they will be.
But this approach does not work everywhere or all the time. During a year, Lincoln Electric considered more than 20,000 job applicants & rejected most of them-yet it has empty positions that it needs to fill. Very few of those who applied at Lincoln Electric could do trigonometry (even at the high school level) or read technical drawings. Those skills were needed for even entry-level work.
b) Discuss the advantages & disadvantages associated with Toyota's "Day of Work" approach.
c) Identify all the steps of selection that are used by Toyota. Explain the importance of each steps of selection related with the above case
