Now, please combine the number of workers from both Company B and Company C and design the new structure using Company B's structure policy.

For company B:

Taking Higher Count approximation in all calculations.

The Company B would require:

(1). No. of Workers Required = 250000/(240 8)

= 130.2

(2). No. of Supervisor Required = 131/10

= 13.1

(3). No of Line Manager required = 14/10

= 1.4

(4). No. of Senior Manager Required = 2/5

= 0.4

(5). No. of COO Required = 1/5

= 0.2

Workers	Supervisor	Line Managers	Senior Managers	COO
130.2	13.1	1.4	0.4	0.2
