Question

The production manager of an automobile company asked the foreman to achieve a target production of 200 scooters per day. But he did not give him the authority to requisition tools and materials from the stores department. Can the production manager blame foreman if he is not able to achieve the desired target? Explain briefly the principle relating to the situation.

Answer 1

The principle is authority and responsibility. No, the production manager cannot blame the foreman because he did not give him the authority to requisition tools and material from the stores department since he has no authority, he cannot fulfil his responsibility.
