growth in four years since its Certificate of Incorporation was approved. The company
manufactures injection molded plastic components for both the consumer and commercial
markets. The firm will engage in two activities: stock processing for the local market and
production as a subcontractor. The corporation was deemed successful, and the business
was persuaded to consider further growth. BPIC would be expanding, which is why they
suggested extra personnel with a shortage of amounts per role in order to reach the target
product potential they needed to meet.
The company's market opportunity is so compelling that top management is considering
expansion. This expansion necessitates the construction of new buildings and, of course, the
recruiting of additional staff. This will have an impact on the organizational structure. In this

board a new organizational chart setup and what are the possible credible points that he
could raise to support the new setup of the organizational chart.

increased manufacturing capacity entails not only an increase in property, construction,
machinery, and equipment, but also, and most significantly, an increase in the people who
