satisfaction, considered as main goal of organisations. As per present Scenario, The WatsonEngineering Tooling Company has established its business in early 1980's. It deals inmanufacturing sector and offers a wide range of products like engineering calipers, scribes(initial range of products which further supplied to local industries dealing in same sector) andmicrometers, etc. These initial items are required to manufacture further high quality and longlasting items.

Themain agenda of this organisation is to analyse all the internal factors that's why it is internallystrong as compare to it's competitors. It is an operationally specific firm that manage and operateexisting resources. Therefore, in order to overcome from this threat and bring efficiencies of production, itsoperational management has performed various activities.
