ACME & OMEGA

The two electronic manufacturing companies Acme, and Omega formed after buyout in 1986.
Both are different in many cases we can say that Acme was good at its performance based
and omega is better in making profit bases. The hierarchical structure of both the
organizations are different. President John Tyler of Acme focused on a highly well-organized,
hierarchical work environment within the company, with elaborate organization charts and
job descriptions, to achieve maximum productivity and profitability. While most workers
were satisfied, and few wish for greater independence. On the other hand, Omega, under the
leadership of President Jim Rawls, opposed formal organizational charts in Favor of
teamwork and open discussion. To promote collaboration among departments, so that
the environment will be where workers feel like they are a part of the company, everyone
understands their responsibilities and supports ideas. In the 1990s, both companies faced
challenges with the advent of mixed analog and digital devices. They competed for a
significant contract from a photocopier manufacturer, but Acme faced internal coordination
issues and delays, leading to defective units. In contrast, Omega efficiently addressed design
errors and delivered defect-free prototypes. Ultimately, the photocopier firm split the contract
between Acme and Omega, adding directives to maintain zero defects and reduce final costs.
Acme, through extensive cost-cutting efforts, managed to reduce unit costs by 20 percent,
securing the complete contract in 1993
