Fifty-five situations representing the kinds of problems a new foreman is likely to encounter during the early months of his supervisory experience. Some are human relations problems, some involve policy questions, and others are concerned with paperwork or procedural phases of the job.

The course is designed to help the second level supervisors train their new foremen in management functions by facilitating informal discussions on potential supervisory problems. Two or three problems can be assigned per week for approximately 25 weeks.

The Supervisory Problems course consists of a Supervisor's Guide which the trainer (the foreman's supervisor) uses  in conducting the training and a Problem Solving Workbook which is used by the foreman being trained. It is recommended that the supervisor have both a copy of the Supervisor's Guide and the Problem Solving Workbook and that each foreman being trained have a copy of the Problem Solving Workbook. For purposes of this course a foreman is usually considered the first level of management in direct contact with the hourly workforce.
