Imagine that you are hired as a consultant for a manufacturing company that makes car parts. The company has found that employee productivity has dropped significantly over the past year, and it wants your help to create a plan to increase it, as there is not enough supply of its parts available to keep up with the orders it is receiving.

Research products that require manufacturing. Consider the processes that influence production, particularly areas that create bottlenecks in terms of supply chain orders. Identify a task within the area and target a behavior that if modified would alleviate the bottleneck.

Develop a 350- to 700-word expanded outline for your plan to help increase employee productivity using the operant conditioning methods of shaping and chaining or reinforcement schedules.

Make sure that your plan:

• Includes an introduction that highlights the:
• Company
• Product
• Demand
• Manufacturing process
• The problem
• Describes the target behavior you have selected for your intervention
• Include an explanation of how the behavior is being classically conditioned.
• Identifies how it could be specifically applied to the scenario
• Maps the operant conditioning process you intend to apply
• Challenges you might face with this intervention

Cite your sources in APA format within the outline and provide an APA formatted reference page at the end.

Format your summary consistent with APA guidelines.

Format your expanded outline as a Microsoft® Word document.
