| Tiivistelmä: | Worker flexibility is an attractive option for enhancing manufacturing performance since it provides strategic advantages, and allows the firm to buffer against uncertainty. This paper investigates issues related to acquiring a flexible workforce in those DRC job shops that have high learning costs and the presence of worker attrition. Two strategies for improving shop performance, based on incrementally training workers or reducing attrition rates, are recommended. Conditions under which either of these strategies should be pursued are identified. |
