Restrukturisasi Struktur Organisasi di Kimberly Clark

Pada tahun 2003, kimberly clark, pembuat produk kertas, termasuk tisu, Huggies dan Depends, mengumumkan akan menciptakan struktur baru yang radikal untuk menopang bagian bisnis yang berkinerja buruk oleh restrukturisasi produknya ke dalam tiga kategori. Kategori tersebut '' tumbuh ‘’, '' mempertahankan '', dan '' memperbaiki ''-agak tidak konvensional Kategori. Mereka bukan menyusun berdasarkan jenis produk, pelanggan, atau lokasi geografis di mana Kimberly Clark menjual barang, melainkan pada kekuatan yang dirasakan dari produk itu sendiri.
Latar belakang
Kimberly Clark dan perusahaan didirikan pada tahun 1872 oleh empat pengusaha muda, John A. Kimberly, Havilah Babcock, Charles B. Clark, dan Frank C. Shattuck. Berbasis di Neenah, Wisconsin, perusahaan awalnya memproduksi kertas, tetapi selama bertahun-tahun itu mulai untuk keluar cabang, memperluas ke daerah produk konsumen kebersihan pribadi untuk bersaing dengan perusahaan-perusahaan seperti Procter and Gamble. Pada tahun 1978, Kimberly Clark memperkenalkan apa yang akan menjadi Penjual atas Nya: Huggies popok sekali pakai. Huggies adalah seorang menggemparkan dan segera menjadi nomor satu merek popok bangsa. Selama dua dekade mendatang, Kimberly Clark memperkenalkan tergantung untuk orang dewasa dan pelatihan celana untuk balita, dan memperoleh pesaing yang scott paper, terkemuka pembuat kertas toilet dan kertas handuk. Hari ini, perusahaan yang telah tergabung menjual produknya di lebih dari 150 negara di seluruh dunia. Di 80 negara-negara ini memegang nomor satu atau nomor dua olahraga di pasar. Memiliki operasi fisik di 38 negara dan mempekerjakan lebih dari 55.000 karyawan.

Masalah restrukturisasi
Seperti banyak penggabungan perusahaan, penggabungan perusahaan antara kimberly clark dan scott paper pada tahun 1995 tidak menggulung lancar.Sebagian besar scotts tim manajemen senior yang tersisa setelah penggabungan, dan kimberly clark mengalami masalah mengintegrasikan kedua perusahaan. Tahun berikutnya, operasi pendapatan dan penjualan menurun.
Akhir 1990-an, para manajer senior perusahaan, akhirnya bekerja melalui integrasi tantangan dari penggabungan. Tapi fajar dari dua puluh abad pertama membawa tantangan baru. Kepala di antara ini adalah kurangnya pertumbuhan di negara-negara maju untuk Kimberly Clark karena kejenuhan produk pasar. Untuk terus tumbuh, perusahaan harus melihat ke pasar baru. Perusahaan juga kehilangan saham di pasar untuk saingan yang dahsyat, P&G. Dengan memperkenalkan garis akhir tinggi Pampers pada tahun 2002, telah mampu menangkap saham pasar dari huggies. Meskipun diberikan persaingan popok sekali pakai di industry, Kimberly Clark mencoba untuk menanam modalnya dengan menghasilkan produk yang terkait: Tisu Bayi Sekali Pakai. Tapi rencana pertumbuhan ini kacau ketika Johnson, pembuat terkemuka shampo bayi, meluncurkan sendiri garis tisu bayi. Dalam konteks dinamis kompetitif bahwa manajer senior Kimberly Clark mengumumkan rencana reorganisasi radikal mereka pada tahun 2003. Kategori 'Tumbuh' (merek dan sektor-sektor yang tumbuh tercepat) mencakup produk-produk seperti pelatihan Celana, handuk rumah tangga dan tisu. Kategori 'mempertahankan' (kembali menghasilkan merek padat) termasuk produk perawatan bayi Amerika Serikat dan jalur facial tissue lainnya. Sedangkan kategori 'fix' mencakup produk-produk yang berkaitan dengan perawatan pribadi Eropa bersama dengan kamar kecil profesional bisnis Amerika Serikat. Penjualan produk-produk ini adalah relatif datar. Dan meskipun mereka menyumbang sekitar 20 persen dari total penjualan perusahaan, mereka memberikan kontribusi hanya 10 persen dari keuntungan. Manajer senior Kimberly Clark berpendapat bahwa reorganisasi akan membantu meningkatkan kecepatan perusahaan untuk pasar, merampingkan pengambilan keputusan mengenai mengalokasikan modal, dan pengiriman pengurangan biaya secara berkelanjutan. Namun, simultan pengumuman reorganisasi, Kimberly Clark mengumumkan telah merevisi perkiraan untuk kenaikan penjualan turun dari 6 persen menjadi 8 persen per tahun, 3 persen menjadi 5 persen. Bisa ditebak, pemegang saham bereaksi negatif, dan harga saham Kimberly Clark ditutup segera setelah pengumuman. Dengan demikian, para eksekutif mulai mempertimbangkan kembali perubahan yang direncanakan. Kimberly Clark akhirnya disajikan struktur organisasi yang baru dan berbeda pada awal 2004. Daripada mengatur produk-produk dengan kategori 'tumbuh', mempertahankan, dan memperbaiki ', manajemen mengumumkan bahwa mereka akan mengatur sekitar perawatan pribadi, produk kamar kecil, dan pasar negara berkembang. Secara khusus, manajemen berencana untuk menggabungkan kelompok perawatan pribadi di perusahaan Amerika Utara dan Eropa di bawah satu unit organisasi. Hal yang sama akan terjadi untuk produk yang berhubungan dengan bisnis kamar kecil. Selain itu, manajemen merencanakan untuk membuat unit usaha 'pasar negara berkembang' untuk memaksimalkan pertumbuhan semua produk Kimberly Clark di Asia, Amerika Latin, dan Eropa Timur. Sebagai contoh pertumbuhan ini, pada tahun 2010 perusahaan mengumumkan pabrik pertama di Rusia untuk memproduksi popok Huggies. Pada tahun 2010, perubahan Kimberly Clark dibentuk kembali menjadi perusahaan perawatan kesehatan produk konsumen dan kebersihan. Analis telah bereaksi dengan baik terhadap perubahan tersebut. Selain itu, perusahaan mengumumkan bahwa upaya untuk mengurangi biaya cenderung melebihi perkiraan awal. Manajemen memproyeksikan bahwa penghematan biaya bisa mencapai $ 450 juta pada akhir 2010. Dan, manajemen juga mengumumkan rencana baru untuk mengurangi sampai $ 500 juta lebih pada tahun 2013. Akhirnya, perusahaan mencari perolehan yang baik dalam industri perawatan kesehatan .

Pertanyaan 1. Mengapa eksekutif Kimberly Clark akan merestrukturisasi perusahaan berdasarkan kategori 'tumbuh', mempertahankan ', dan memperbaiki'? Kerugian apa yang mungkin terjadi akibat struktur seperti itu? 2. Apakah struktur organisasi yang disajikan oleh eksekutif Kimberly Clark pada tahun 2004 lebih baik daripada struktur pertama kali yang diusulkan? Mengapa atau mengapa tidak? 3. Apakah perubahan perusahaan untuk membentuk kembali identitasnya sebagai perusahaan perawatan kesehatan produk konsumen dan kebersihan dan upaya pengurangan biaya mungkin untuk meningkatkan posisi relatif kompetitif terhadap P & G? Tolong jelaskan jawaban Anda.

1. Why would Kimberly-Clark executives restructure the company based on “grow, sustain, fix” categories? What disadvantages might result from such structure? * Kimberly-Clark decided to base the company on “grow, sustain and fix,” because this approach would allow them to pay more attention to the products that would require improvement, over those products that are already guaranteed sellers. Products that are growing the fastest and selling good would be placed in the ‘grow’ category. Products that are generating a solid return would be placed in the ‘sustain’ category, and those products that need improvement and need to be fixed would be placed in the ‘fix’ category. It is essentially a very straight forward approach and very easy to categorize, thus I think that’s one of the main reasons Kimberly-Clark decided to go about and carry out this method. The main disadvantage of this particular approach, is that they don’t focus on customer needs and this is by far one of the most important aspects in any company, because customers is basically the reason why the company is still running.

2. Was the organizational structure presented by Kimberly-Clark executives in 2004 better than the first structure proposed? Why or why not? * The organizational structure presented in 2004, was a much better approach in my opinion. After all, the main reason why they changed the structure one year later was because the first approach was a big failure. The new way in which they organized it: personal care, washroom products and emerging markets; benefits in the way that it will capture new markets and innovations. The first structure paid more attention to the ‘fix’ category, whereas in the 2004 structure a lot of money and energy was spent in the ‘emerging markets’ category, which will give them a competitive edge. Also, to place products...

1. Mengapa eksekutif Kimberly-Clark akan merestrukturisasi perusahaan berdasarkan Kategori "tumbuh, mempertahankan, memperbaiki"? Kerugian apa yang mungkin terjadi akibat dari struktur tersebut?
* Kimberly-Clark memutuskan untuk dasar perusahaan pada "tumbuh, mempertahankan dan memperbaiki," karena pendekatan ini akan memungkinkan mereka untuk lebih memperhatikan produk yang akan memerlukan perbaikan, atas produk-produk yang sudah dijamin Penjual. Produk yang tumbuh tercepat dan menjual baik akan ditempatkan dalam kategori 'tumbuh'. Produk yang menghasilkan imbal akan ditempatkan dalam kategori 'mempertahankan', dan produk-produk yang perlu ditingkatkan dan perlu diperbaiki akan ditempatkan dalam kategori 'memperbaiki'. Hal ini pada dasarnya sebuah pendekatan yang sangat lurus ke depan dan sangat mudah untuk mengkategorikan, jadi pikir itu adalah salah satu alasan utama Kimberly-Clark memutuskan untuk pergi dan melaksanakan tentang metode ini. Kelemahan utama dari pendekatan khusus, adalah bahwa mereka tidak fokus pada kebutuhan pelanggan dan ini adalah salah satu aspek jauh yang paling penting dalam setiap perusahaan, karena pelanggan pada dasarnya adalah alasan mengapa perusahaan masih berjalan.

2. Apakah struktur organisasi yang disajikan oleh Kimberly-Clark eksekutif pada tahun 2004 yang lebih baik daripada struktur pertama yang diusulkan? Mengapa atau mengapa tidak?
* Struktur organisasi yang dipresentasikan pada tahun 2004, adalah banyak pendekatan yang lebih baik menurut kelompok kami. Setelah semua, alasan utama mengapa mereka mengubah struktur satu tahun kemudian adalah karena pendekatan pertama adalah kegagalan besar. Cara baru di mana mereka menyelenggarakan: perawatan pribadi, produk-produk kamar mandi dan pasar negara berkembang; manfaat dalam cara itu bahwa akan menangkap pasar baru dan inovasi. Struktur pertama membayar lebih banyak perhatian ke kategori 'memperbaiki', sedangkan dalam struktur 2004 banyak uang dan energi dihabiskan di 'pasar berkembang' Kategori, yang akan memberikan mereka keunggulan kompetitif. Juga, untuk menempatkan produk.

3. Why do you think Kimberly-Clark reorganized its business structure in 2004 when it finalized its restructuring plans?
Kimberly Clark had to change its original reorganization plan in order to survive in the market. Just the additional costs of making products they were already good in would have been tremendous. The new way they organized it : personal care, washroom products and emerging markets, works out a lot better because for one thing the personal care division did not need much work, whereas the washroom products did. In both plans the washroom products are in there own division because it was originally the product that needed a “fix”. But not separating the personal care saves in not wasting money on repetitive equipment and man power. The addition of the emerging markets will allow the company to sell products made in the other two divisions to countries in order to maximize growth.

Pada tahun 2003, Kimberly Clark, pembuat produk kertas, termasuk tisu, Huggies dan Depends, mengumumkan hal itu menciptakan struktur baru yang radikal untuk menopang bagian bisnis yang berkinerja buruk oleh restrukturisasi produknya ke dalam tiga kategori. Kategori adalah "tumbuh," "mempertahankan," dan "memperbaiki"-kategori agak tidak konvensional. Mereka bukan menyusun berdasarkan jenis produk, pelanggan, atau lokasi geografis di mana mereka dijual, melainkan pada kekuatan yang dirasakan dari produk itu sendiri.

Memiliki operasi fisik di 38 negara dan mempekerjakan lebih dari 55.000 karyawan.
Restrukturisasi masalah
Seperti banyak perusahaan merger, merger antara Kimberly-Clark dan Scott Paper pada tahun 1995 tidak roll keluar dengan lancar. Sebagian besar dari tim manajemen senior Scott kiri setelah merger, dan Kimberly-Clark mengalami masalah mengintegrasikan kedua perusahaan. Tahun berikutnya, operasi pendapatan dan penjualan menurun.

Diberikan persaingan di industri popok sekali pakai. Kimberly Clark mencoba diversifikasi dengan memproduksi produk terkait: bayi pakai tisu. Tapi rencana pertumbuhan ini yang marah ketika Johnson, pembuat terkemuka shampo bayi, diluncurkan sendiri garis tisu bayi.
Itu dalam konteks dinamika kompetitif ini bahwa manajer senior Kimberly Clark mengumumkan rencana reorganisasi radikal mereka pada tahun 2003. Kategori "tumbuh" (brandsand sektor tumbuh tercepat) mencakup produk-produk seperti pelatihan Celana, handuk rumah tangga dan tisu dan tisu.

...competitive market. With European markets opening up to more organizations, Kimberly-Clark needed a new strategy to overhaul its business and remain competitive. Some of the factors that brought on the need for restructure as seen in Hitt (2013), was a difficult merger between Kimberly-Clark and Scott Paper, lack of growth in developed countries and loosing market shares to competition. Kimberly-Clark came up with a unique restructuring strategy that would place products into categories based upon their selling strength (Grow, Sustain, or Fix). This strategy was not well received by shareholders and the stock market. Kimberly-Clark then choose to revise this strategy into a more acceptable one. Products would be placed into three categories. Personal care, washroom products, and emerging markets. IDENTIFYING PROBLEMS The obstacle that Kimberly-Clark faced during this restructuring phase would include the reorganization of production equipment and personal. By categorizing products into new categories management and production would have to be reorganized. The original restructuring plan would have products utilizing the same type of equipment being moved elsewhere due to its sales performance. Another disadvantage of this restructuring would be the cost. For example, an article seen in USA Today (2013), Kimberly-Clark anticipated restructuring costs between $130 million and $160 million. These restructuring costs along with a decrease in sales brought on by competition from business...

...Organizational Behavior & Leadership Analysis of Case on Albert Dunlap and Corporate Transformation (A) Mid Term Exam – WAC Submission Submitted by: Zohaib Riaz MBA – 1st Semester Submitted to: Dr. Nasir Afghan MBA Program director Dated: December 1, 2013 Abstract The case is about Albert Dunlap and his role as a transformational leader in revitalizing Scott paper and Sunbeam Corporation from loss making companies to profit earning enterprises. Dunlap was an aggressive person known for his rapid fire management approach. He used his traditional methods of cutting staff, demanding top performance and setting rigorous standards. He was very passionate for his work. He disregarded the modern management perspective on quality and empowerment. Scott paper and sunbeam were in deep financial trouble when Albert Dunlap took control of these firms and transformed them into profit making entities. Dunlap was successful because of his corporate strategy of having shareholders’ wealth maximization as primary goal. Though employee morale was very low but still Sunbeam was generating good financial results. It has been recommended that Dunlap should focus towards employees’ motivation because employees’ motivation is the key of maximizing shareholders’ wealth in long run.

Managing Conflict and Change

...Final Exam MGMT365 July 2, 2015 Abstract The new economy has ushered in both great business opportunities and great turmoil. Not since the Industrial Revolution have the stakes of dealing with change been so high. Most traditional organizations have accepted, in theory at least, that they must either change or die. And even Internet companies such as eBay, Amazon.com, and America Online recognize that they need to manage the changes associated with rapid entrepreneurial growth. Despite some individual successes, however, change remains difficult to pull off, and few companies manage the process as well as they would like. Most of their initiatives (installing new technology, downsizing, restructuring, or trying to change corporate culture) have had low success rates. The brutal fact is that about 70% of all change initiatives fail (Beer, 2000). This paper will discuss the two change theories E and O. Final Exam Research shows that the reason for most change initiative failures is that in their rush to change their organizations, managers end up immersing themselves in an alphabet soup of initiatives. They lose focus and become mesmerized by all the advice available in print and on-line about why companies should change, what they should try to accomplish, and how they should do it (Brown, 2005). This proliferation of recommendations often leads to muddle when change is attempted. The result is that most change efforts exert a heavy toll, both human and economic. To improve the...

As Avon’s Chairman, I am committed to ensuring a successful management transition, maintaining our strong relationships with approximately 6.4 million active independent Representatives worldwide, and working with the new CEO in supporting the company’s strategic direction and brand positioning. On a personal note, it has been a true privilege leading Avon as CEO since 1999, as we have grown the company from a decentralized group of local operating entities to a globally managed business with global brands and a global operating model. During this time, revenues more than doubled to $11.3 billion, the number of Representatives also doubled and we expanded our reach to women in more than 100 markets around the world. Looking to the future, a new CEO will provide a fresh lens and additional operational capabilities to manage a company of Avon’s increasing size and scale. With the Beauty and Direct Selling industries growing, coupled with our broad geographic footprint, Avon continues to have significant growth opportunities. To capitalize on these opportunities, however, we will need to address the near-term challenges which have slowed the company’s recent revenue growth. In 2011, revenues were up 4% or 1% in constant dollars,* compared...
