By combing through the annual reports, official websites and public information of most listed steel companies, it can be found that these companies have generally set up multiple management departments, including the board office, strategic development department, finance department, human resources department, production technology department, safety and environmental protection department, marketing department, procurement department, logistics department, equipment department, marketing department, etc. There are slight differences in the departmental setups of different companies, but a similar pattern is presented overall. That is, the business is more scattered, and there are more cross-cutting businesses in many departments, which is too many management departments to put it in layman's terms, but it does not produce actual benefits.
Departmental functions and interrelationships.

At the same time, the department also needs to cooperate with various departments to ensure the smooth development of safety production and environmental protection.
Ministry of Energy and Environmental Protection: This department is mainly for energy and environmental protection, mainly to do some energy consumption statistics and improvement activities, in essence, for environmental protection is only to cope with some inspections, for the company to improve environmental protection.

Equipment Department: This department is mainly aimed at some equipment procurement and equipment maintenance and repair management departments, in actual work. It was also set up to better manage the company's equipment, but in the end it also evolved into a pure management department, which only needed data and reports, and did not produce real benefits.
An analysis of the departmental settings of large listed steel companies shows a similar pattern. These departments are interconnected and interdependent, forming a complete operational and management system. In this system, the functions and roles of each department are different, but they work together to ensure the proper operation and development of the company.
However, for workers, one more department requires one more job, and so many management departments, production-related departments, all have to work on the lower levels, so the workers need to cope with more.
Of course, this is only the number of departments, and if each department has as few as one or two hundred people, or as many as five or six hundred, and there are thousands of managers at every turn, it is also a great injustice to the workers. Because they are only management, it is difficult to produce benefits by relying on management. Layers of management. This results in the next level of coping and setting up the same responsibility body.
That is, in each workshop, in order to cope with the management of the above parts, it is necessary to set up corresponding people to report and provide data, which is bound to make the front-line workers less and less again, and the work of grassroots workers will become more and more difficult under the same total number of unchanged.
