OBSERVATION
P a g e | 14
3.1 Purchase Department
Since the company is exporting its product to European Countries it should meet out CE and
ROHS compliance so the components has to be purchased in following specification
EC- Declaration of Conformity
The DoC is where you make the required statement of conformity of your product with all
applicable EC directives. Its the manufacturer that issues a DoC, not the test house or
Notified Body. The DoC is a liability statement, and must be founded on solid proof of
compliance, such as a conformity certificate from a test house, or a test report issued by ce-
test.
3.2 Production Department
Quality control inspectors make sure that everything from raw materials to finished products
meets quality and safety standards specified in the purchasing documentation. All production
processes, whether large or small, require elements of quality control and all inspection and
testing is carried out to specified requirements that have been agreed between the purchaser
and the supplier.
Quality control inspectors normally work in a laboratory, workshop or office. They visit the
factory floor to take samples of products and inspect production, and to discuss problems
with colleagues.
They also inspect products purchased by their company from suppliers and maintain records
of supplier performance. This data is important in helping suppliers to improve their
performance and for making decisions regarding which suppliers can be relied on to meet
specified requirements,
Inspectors regularly check and test samples of a product, as it would be impractical to test
every single item that leaves a factory or workshop.

promotion . And this model still works when the focus is on product marketing. However
most developed economies have moved on, with an ever-increasing focus service businesses,
and therefore service marketing. To better represent the challenges of service marketing,
McKinsey developed a new framework for analyzing and improving organizational
effectiveness, the7s model: The 3Ss across the top of the model are described as Hard Ss:
Strategy: The direction and scope of the company over the long term.
P a g e | 35
Structure: The basic organization of the company, its departments, reporting lines, areas
of expertise, and responsibility( and how they interrelate).
Systems: Formal and informal procedures that govern everyday activity, covering
everyday activity, covering everything from management information systems at the
point of contact with the customer (retail systems, call centre systems, online systems,
etc).
The 4Ss across the bottom of the model are less tangible, more cultural in nature, and
were termed Soft Ss by McKinsey:
Skills: The capabilities and competencies that exist within the company. What it does
best.
Shared Values: The values and beliefs of the company. Ultimately they guide employees
towards valued behavior.
Style: The leadership approach of top management and the companys overall operating
approach.
In combination they provide another effective framework for analyzing the organization
and its activities. In marketing- led company they can be used to explore the extent to which
the company is working coherently towards a distinctive and motivating place in the mind of
consumer.
