Figure 1. Company structure
11. Complete the blanks in this text using information from the chart.
The head of an engineering company in the UK is the 1___ the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). If it is an American subsidiary, the head may be known as the Vice President. Unless the person at the top is the Chairman of the company, or the owner, he or she will be responsible to a 2___, or, in the case of a US subsidiary, the President. In turn, the Chairman or President is responsible to the company shareholders.
The managers of the various departments which are vital to a company report directly to the Managing Director. These managers may be referred to as the Management Team. They are required to advise the Director on the consequences of any decision made by the Board in terms of costs, personnel, materials, time, plant, etc. They also have to brief the Director on any matters which should be taken to the Board for decision.
The 3____, with the support of the Mechanical, Electronic, and 4____ Sections, is responsible for the introduction of new products. The 5____ decides how the new products will be produced. The 6____ and Industrial Engineer Manager report to this member of the Management Team.
The 7 ____ ensures that the products are fault-free and that the components and materials used in their manufacture meet company standards. The 8____ handles market research, promotion, and sales. The Field Service Manager is responsible for the installation and maintenance of the company's products wherever required.
The structure shown in Fig. 1 is common to most engineering companies but there can be differences in reporting channels. For example, in some companies the Field Service Department may report through Marketing, through Quality, or even through a separate Product Assurance and Support Group.
Although the company structure shows managers for each separate department, departments are interdependent. For example, the Development Manager would not start the design of a new product without first discussing the project with other managers. The design would not be completed without regular meetings with other departments to ensure that it fitted the customers' requirements, and that cost targets would be met without adversely affecting quality, manufacturability, and serviceability. These meetings would ensure that trained manpower, tooling, documentation, etc., were in place at the correct time for each stage of the product's launch.
