 SUMMARY

 White manufacturing was on a course to encounter problems with the hiring of a

new manufacturing manager from outside of the company.

 In the organization the project manager reported to the operation manager but they
actually worked for the vice president manager to integrate work across all
departments.

 Manufacturing operation was directed by the famous manufacturing manager.

 Manufacturing engineer was also sure to be disgruntled as he was passed for the
position.
 SUMMARY

 The vice president announced that the position would be filled from outside and
there would be an organizational restructuring.

 The project manager were basically demoted to report directly to this new
manager.

 The new manager made 2 rules:-

1) the project manager will never go upstairs without going through him
2)department matrix will be dissolved.
Q. How do you account for the actions of the new department manager ?

 The manufacturing operation manager should go back on his decision to

hire a manufacturing manager from outside of the company. The case
study stated that the information and project were flowing fine before the
old manufacturing manager resigned. To fill the old manufacturing
operation manager should give the manufacturing engineering manager a
chance to fill the position and try to fill the lower level position with a
person outside of the company.

 Another solution could be the new department manager should go back on

his decision of dissolving the matrix and project manager will never go
upstairs without going through him. As the work before is going smoothly
before this decision
Q. What would you do if you were one of the project manager?

 As the case study stated that now all the project manager have to report
to their junior as it their senior order therefore there is no other option left
to project manager

 They have to report to the new department manager and will never go
upstairs without first going through new manager
