The strengths as mentioned in the case study are: · For the sake of quality standards, a Total Quality Management (TQM) program has been set up in the workshop. ... 2 Weaknesses (Internal Environment) The Electrico Workshop seems to be fraught with a number of weaknesses. ... In this case study, there are many aspects and attitudes that make this workshop so vulnerable, that to compete in a highly competitive environment means a lot of changes will need to take place. ... · The employees of Electrico are reluctant to face the reality of a changing commercial and competitive environment. ...

CONCLUSION In conclusion, the Electrico organization can develop the ability to easily adapt and change due to all staff constantly learning, training and taking an active role in decision making. ... Electrico may be a fictitious company, but they are fortunate, in theory, that HRM will become an important part of the overall restructuring and that the employees will be recognised as very important cogs in the organisations wheel of future plans. ... 2002, ‘Work restructuring and technical change: A case study of the Royal Navy, Warfare Branch’, Personnel Review, Vol.
