    Kellogg Salada Inc. owned a corn mill subsidiary that was experiencing production difficulties. To address this, they implemented a job enrichment strategy at the mill which involved appointing a new manager, Fred Duncan, who discussed the plan with workers. The plan involved horizontally and vertically enlarging worker job roles with reduced supervision, which resulted in increased efficiency, cleanliness and attendance while maintaining quality. However, issues around potential lack of supervision and its impact on work quality remained.
