130 Organizational Change Criteria

131 Workload Increase or Decrease

131.1 Increased Work

When the volume of work increases to the point where an existing organization can no longer effectively complete the work in accordance with accepted performance standards, organizational change may be justified. Workload increases may lead to one or more of the following organizational changes:

  1. Adding a layer of management to maintain an appropriate span of control.
  2. Example: Authorization of a distribution operations manager responsible for supervising multiple supervisors.

  3. Adding supervision within an authorized, existing layer in an organization.
  4. Example: Authorization of an additional distribution operations supervisor.

  5. Adding support positions.
  6. Example: Authorization of operations specialists or analysts to support strategies and goals.

131.2 Decreased Work

When the volume of work decreases to the point where the organization’s existing resources are underutilized, a reduction in authorized staffing and layers of management may be justified.
