Assignment 24

If Avie needs to lay off staff from the third shift due to dropping demand, they should do so based on employee performance and ability rather than seniority, as the company is not unionized. This will allow them to treat all employees fairly without bias towards women or minorities. To evaluate the effectiveness of keeping the third shift in a year, Avie can benchmark their progress against competitors to see how their strategy has improved their position over that time period.
