"From a 10,000 foot overview, I would first seek to understand if the client has done their homework in market research to find out the supply and demand for their product. Knowing that production is based on demand, I'd offer a helping hand as their consultant wherever I could. If it was determined that production would need to be cut, the next step would be to help them walk through the process of determining labor needs in their production facility at that point and what future projections would look like. I feel that my role would be coordinating all of the key decisions makers in the organization during this process."
