Mechanical Engineering - Industrial Engineering and Production Management - Discussion

The correct answer is line and staff organisation.

The steel industry typically requires a combination of technical expertise and efficient operations, making Line and Staff Organisation the most suitable choice.

In a Line and Staff Organisation:

- Line departments (production, maintenance, etc.) focus on core operations
- Staff departments (engineering, quality control, etc.) provide specialized support and expertise

This structure allows for:

- Efficient operations and decision-making (line departments)
- Technical expertise and support (staff departments)

The other options are less suitable for the steel industry:

- Line Organisation: Too rigid and limited for complex operations
- Functional Organisation: May lead to conflicts between departments
- Line, Staff, and Functional Organisation: Too complex and bureaucratic for efficient operations

Line and Staff Organisation is a common choice for industries that require both technical expertise and efficient operations, such as manufacturing, construction, and healthcare.

Line, staff and functional organization always includes production and sales, and sometimes also marketing.

A "staff function" supports the organization with specialized advisory and support functions. For example, human resources, accounting, public relations and the legal department are generally considered to be staff functions.

line organisation : Milletry.
functional organisation : Hospitals.
staff organisation : schools, collages.

May I know the reason why all types of organisation is essential in steel industry?

I think answer B functional organisation is correct.

Anyone can give explanation for all organisation?

I think, the answer is B.
