   Honeywell Nylon, which took over the BASF nylon plant last month, asked 103 workers to leave voluntarily earlier this week, Honeywell Nylon Director of Operations Ed Donnelly said Friday.
   
   An outdated, labor-intensive production process used at the plant will be terminated and the plant will bulk up production on the remaining single-step process line to bring greater efficiency and cost effectiveness to its practices.
   
   Honeywell will shut down its multi-step production line in an effort to bring textile operations up to date at the Anderson plant, said Mr. Donnelly, who is the former BASF plant manager.
   
   "We're going to retrench back to our most efficient, most cost-effective practices," Mr. Donnelly said. "This number should get us close to where we need to be to maintain the production we need and to go forward."
   
   Company officials expect to better know how many people will volunteer for the layoff by early next week. If 103 people do not come forward, the company will have to let some workers go, Mr. Donnelly said.
   ...
   "It happened so suddenly," said Mr. Donnelly. "If you'd asked me six months ago did I see this coming, I would have said, ‘No.'"
   
   Approximately 600 workers will remain at the plant, which under BASF ownership employed more than 750 people a year ago.
   
   Mr. Donnelly declined to predict the future of the plant but said he does not expect more layoffs to come. Although he said last month that no employment changes or layoffs were expected when the BASF plant changed hands to Honeywell, he said Friday that the company must strive to stay successful in an increasingly difficult textile market.
