A company is divided into several sectors or departments. That is done to facilitate the management of the company's activities. Some have a very clear hierarchy outlined while others have different patterns of management. The most common form of division is by sectors or what we call departments. Each one is responsible for a certain area of the business and must follow up with their activities.

Some of the most common departments are: Human resources or staff department; marketing department; management department, accounting, logistics department, quality department, manufacturing department and warehousing department. We will see every one of them separately to better understand their daily activities and responsibilities.

The Staff Department

This department has three common terminologies: human resources, personnel or staff department. They all mean the same thing: the department that deals and handles the company's most important assets: the employees. Some of their functions include: (1) conducting job analyses, (2) planning personnel needs, and recruitment, (3) selecting candidates for a job opening, (4) orienting and training, (5) determining and managing wages and salaries, (6) providing benefits and incentives, (7) appraising performance, (8) resolving disputes, (9) communicating with employees at all levels.

The Sales Department

The sales department, in a nutshell, takes care of the sales of goods and services offered by the firm. This process involves (1) formulation of sales strategy through development of account management policies, sales force compensation policies, sales revenue forecast, and sales plan, (2) implementation of sales strategy by selecting, training, motivating, and supporting the sales force, setting sales revenue goals and (3) sales force management through development and implementation of sales performance, monitoring, evaluating methods, and analysis of associated behavioral patterns and costs.

The Marketing Department

This department is responsible for promoting, goods and services offered by the company to its final consumer. Most marketing departments use four components known as the 4P's: (1) identification, selection and development of a product, (2) pricing, (3) selection of a distribution channel to reach consumers (4) development and implementation of a promotional strategy. In other words, this department works to discover, create, attract and satisfy customer needs.

The Finance Department

The finance department is one of the most important departments in a business, providing finance and accounting information necessary to make various decisions. However, this department has a role that encompasses a number of duties. It is responsible for keeping track of a company´s sales and capital spending, providing management with a profit-and-loss statement that will reveal overall strengths or weaknesses of that company. It also provides managers with the most accurate and prompt information possible; this could include data such as costs involved in producing a product.

The Logistics Department

Considered being the complete process involving managing, planning and controlling the flow of goods and services, real-time data, information and human resources from the point of origin to the point of destination. There is hardly any manufacturing or marketing activity that can be achieved without the support of an effective logistics department.

The logistics process consists of the integration of several aspects such as material handling, warehousing information, transportation, packaging, and inventory. The primary duty of an effective logistics system is to ensure geographical repositioning of unfinished goods, and it is also concerned with the finished inventories of the organization being at the required place at the lowest possible cost.

This department is entrusted with the responsibilities of ensuring that the entire process of logistics is maintained and developed in accordance with business goals at an economical cost. The tasks of the logistics department involve storage, distribution, warehousing, movement of goods from one place to another (internally or externally), tracking, and delivery of goods. It is a complete process of planning, managing, controlling and coordinating in order to ensure goods reach the right destination, at the correct time, cost and condition.

The Quality Department

Quality is proof that the service or good was worthwhile the purchase or consumption. Some say that quality is the client or consumer´s return ticket. This sector of the company builds customer loyalty through the delivery of a service or of a high quality good. It is their function to ensure that the product leaves the factory in perfect conditions for the consumer to enjoy. It must measure its quality in every degree because what cannot be measured cannot be controlled. What cannot be controlled cannot be changed. What cannot be changed cannot be improved and what is not improved goes out of business!

The Manufacturing Department

The Manufacturing department is responsible for turning inputs into a finished product through a series of production processes. In other words, it turns raw material into a finished good that can be sold to the customer. The production and planning department will set standards and targets for each section of the production process. The quantity and quality of products coming off a production line will be closely monitored by the quality department.

The purchasing department will be held accountable for providing the materials, components and equipment required to keep the production process running smoothly. A vital aspect of the manufacturing department is ensuring that stocks arrive on time and at the correct quality result.

The Warehousing Department

Warehouses are big buildings or stock houses where companies keep their material until needed for use. These materials need to be controlled and registered so that the company knows exactly how much stock there is. When the quantity begins to lower the warehousing department sends a purchase order so that more of that material or product may be bought. It often uses cranes and forklifts for moving goods which are usually placed on ISO standard pallets and loaded on to pallet racks.

Sometimes companies need certain products to be loaded and unloaded directly from railways, airports, or seaports, but the majority use their warehouses to keep and maintain goods and products that will be used in the manufacturing process.

Creative Process. Students use elements of the designing process (planning, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing) to compose text.

Students have to use proper vocabulary combining forms, drawings, pictures, icons terms of business and cellular biology

My hope for you, as your teacher, is that this project will help you, the student, be familiar with the common connections between the parts of a cell and the different positions in a company.

This task will provide you with the opportunity to learn how to create a graphical analogy, comparing the parts of a cell and the different positions in a company in way that anyone could understand it.

Finally,

When you have finished editing, please hand it in to me in Google classroom.

IN THE FUTURE I MAY POST SOME OF THE FINAL PIECES using Padlet, for everyone to read, so please make sure it is something you are comfortable sharing.

HOW  START AS A Graphic designer?

A graphic designer is a professional within the graphic design and graphic arts industry who assembles together images, typography, or motion graphics to create a piece of design (says Wikipedia).

The first thing that a graphic designer does is TO CLARIFY THE IDEA:

1. what do I need to do?

Create an infographic inside a giant poster to compare the parts of a cell and the different positions in a company.

2. Once that you have clear the way that you want to represent this analogy look at the parts in the next post and make a little sketch to visualize the idea, it could on paper, wallboard, paintbrush o anywhere.
