Vantaggi
If Financial Goals are meet, then little interference from TransDigm Upper Management. The layoffs may present some opportunity to fill the previous employees job functions.
Svantaggi
They manage based on the following formula: 1) Borrow money to acquire a company that is a sole supplier of a product 2) Have existing managers lay off large percentage of employees to increase the profit to employee ratio, if existing managers don't comply then lay them off. 3) Slowly increase and monitor the profit to employee ratio each quarter and layoff or replace managers to meet ratio. Also increase price of products if possible. Took over great, profitable company with no debt and 8% average growth and laid off 40% of the people. This has created a number of problems due to our lack of manpower and efficiency has gone down due to: mistakes, things not getting done, Engineers and other highly trained people performing simpler tasks from removed employees. Management also acts strange sometimes due to the threat of loosing their job especially near the end of the quarter. Will expedite items at extra expense or rush testing to try and meet quarterly goals.
