industry she divided the fir into three groups according to their task and
technology which are
1.
limit
and small batch production
2.
large
batch and mass production
3.
process
production

1.3 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM.
There are
many problems confronting and structures of an organization these have been
drawn and presented by the researcher with a view to discuss and apply the to
know its resultant change such an organization.
Most
organization charts are drawn to emphasize the vertical hierarchy, a clear
picture of this type of organization shown that all activities are fully
centralized from the top level of management this continues to create problem,
most especially of the objective to the organization is to money profit not to
serve the public for any producing company to succeed it should be capable of
deriving way of eliminating delays in production so as to maintain its target.
Some
organizations face the problem of winding up and undergrowth due to its illegal
nature some companies are limited to certain jobs and merchanolising. We may
