VOR-TEX, INC.

(A)
You and your business partners have just acquired Vor-Tex, Inc., a mid-sized company exporting
children’s garments mostly to Europe. The family that owned Vor-Tex (the late founder’s name was
Virgilio O. Ramos; thus, the company name) was forced to sell it because of financial problems brought
about by massive bank borrowing in order to modernize the factories. Unfortunately, the orders from
European clients plunged because of cheaper products that could be sourced from Bangladesh. Prior to
your purchase, the company was forced to retrench 30% of its employees. As a courtesy to you, all
managers (including the family members holding management positions) tendered their resignations.
You and your partners are now free to reconfigure the structure of the company to what you think will
be best, to design the jobs to meet the needs, and to hire the right types of people.

Incidentally, you and your partners have decided not to take any management roles in the company,
since none of you have any relevant experience in the industry. You will all be in the board of directors,
though.

Guide Questions:

1. What management positions should you put in? What structure will you choose for Vor-Tex?
Illustrate this. Why will you choose this type of structure?
2. Draft a core process of Vor-Tex using a flowchart.
3. List down at least 4 positions that you would need. Rank these according to Experience, Skill,
Education, and Responsibility.
4. Using a provided Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ), perform a job analysis on these job
positions.
5. Using the data from the PAQ, prepare the job description and job specification for these
positions.
