Types of Line Organisation: Line organisation can be further classified into two kinds: 1. Pure line organisation, and 2. Departmental line organisation,

The chart given in figure 7.1 can illustrate the Departmental line organisation.

In this model chart, the enterprise has three departments or shops namely, Foundry shop, Machine shop and assembling shop. A foreman heads each department. Authority and instructions pass on from the General Manager to the plant Superintendent and from the Plant Superintendent to the foreman and from the Foreman to the workers. Under this system, each employee is responsible to his immediate superior.
