Focus: Solar Jalousie
Our primary emphasis this quarter. The Solar Jalousie line requires precise slat angle mechanics and sourcing of high-grade aluminum. Teams in this vertical must prioritize light-control efficiency measurements.
Shopping (Procurement)
The first step in our value chain. Procurement focuses on raw material quality across all 3 product lines.
Aluminum grading for Jalousie
UV-resistant textile sourcing for Markise
Heavy-duty motor acquisition for Rolläden
Construction (R&D)
Our engineering teams define the structural integrity of each product. Jalousie currently demands the highest R&D resource allocation for new slat tilting mechanisms.
Production Lines
Cutting & Shaping
Assembly & Motor Fitting
Quality Control (QC)
Sales & Service Workflow
Consultation
Installation
Maintenance
Understanding client needs
Professional onsite fitting
Long-term support & repair
Communicating in the Matrix
In a matrix organization, you often report to two leaders:<br><br>1. <b>Functional Manager:</b> Guides your technical expertise (e.g., Head of Engineering).<br>2. <b>Product Manager:</b> Guides the project direction (e.g., Head of Jalousie).
Key Takeaways
<b>3 Core Products:</b> Jalousie, Markise, Rolläden.
<b>4 Key Functions:</b> Shopping, Construction, Production, Sales/Service.
<b>Current Focus:</b> Market expansion of Solar Jalousie.
<b>Your Role:</b> Clarity on who you report to leads to success.
