Pigs R US Corporate Profile (is a company that produces ham)

Current Company Vision: Bringing quality meats to family tables everywhere.

Current Mission: We believe that family and tradition matter. Pigs R Us is a family too and because we believe that family matters, it our commitment to put only quality pork products on your kitchen table just as we would our own.

Current Business Philosophy

As one of the largest worldwide producers of pork products it is the goal of PRU to help improve its international sales. It will now look forward two years as change in business strategy is imperative to keep growing. The need for innovation and competitive edge ideas are the focus for the next two years. Sustainability both for profit and planet is foremost in the minds of the leadership. The development of "green" friendly international delivery strategies will be a main emphasis.  

Current Corporate Culture

PRU has always considered their employees to be like family. They value their input in the business and seek to empower them whenever they can. The current company culture is a hierarchical with a functional underpinning. The growth of the company and the need for structure and communication to keep the global deadlines has caused the Directors to move towards a collaborative culture. They hope that the family feel of the clan culture will not be lost hence the hybrid.

Organizational Structure:

This company has a functional division structure. However, within each division is a functional structure whose make up is dependent on its purpose. For instance, if the branch is a meat packing plant where slaughter takes place than its decision-making flow will follow the jobs that are part of the slaughter and packing processes. Communication and decision making still flows from top down.

answer-

MEMO-

Pigs R US Corporate

TO   Director of Operations OF PRU

FROM PRODUCTION MANAGER of PRU

DATE MM/DD/YY

SUBJECT problems are arising cause of new packing technology

i writing this memo to inform you that PRU is known for its quality in the meat sector to its customers.we provide quality meat to different location but with a motive to improve the efficiency of the plant we adopted the new packaging technology which can maintain the quality of meat for a long period of time in supermarkets or in kitchen but this technology has caused some problems.this technology is wasting more materials of packaging while workers are removed from the packaging department because this technology is automated.the condition is reviewed by my self when i went to inspect the quality of packed meat.

the automation of the packaging decreases the morale & work efficicency as worker thinks that machine can do everything by itself so they either work to other areas or stand idle on the packaging area.this leads to extra waste of packing materials as well meats are packing very ireggualr shape & quantity.i insected that mean in the packaging department is not upto the standard.

so, i would recommend that either adopt old traditional method of packaging or use half automated machine which can be used manaully by workers so that they can check the quality of the packaging as well as the meat.

regards,

production manager
