3- Chain of command

Each manager is aware of the authority given to them and takes responsibility of that. Also, the chain of command is specific, so every employee has only one superior to report to.

Currently, the company has 38 employees, 6 of them are in the management and administration, 2 in sales and 30 are working in the production units.

Evaluation:

With respect to the book, the organization structure of this company is "A Typical Functional Structure". This structure follows the obvious division of labor within the firm, with different functions focusing on different tasks.

Suggestion:

As Mr. Daccache said, there is a certain lack of cooperation among employees that he is trying to work on.

Since the activities of the business are scattered across various functions, a specified team formed of employees from different departments should be formed. This team would be responsible of sharing and transferring each department's work and of coordinating it as a whole.
