Answer to Question 1

New technology such as the use of automated robotics on the production floor, the use of computer-aided design by engineers, and improving computer skills are changing the supervisor's job. The technical demands placed on a supervisor force one to become multi-skilled. By linking computers, telephones, fax machines, copiers, printers, and the like, supervisors can get more complete information more quickly than ever before. With that information, supervisors can better formulate plans, make faster decisions, more clearly define the jobs that workers need to perform, and monitor work activities on an as-they-happen basis.

Answer to Question 2

C
