The organization chart is one of the documents that describes the organizational structure and, more in detail, is the main tool that the company has at its disposal to answer such questions:

- How is our company structured?
- What are the most important figures within it?
- Who is responsible for certain decisions (i.e. who takes responsibility?)
- How is the workforce assigned and according to what criteria of division of labor?
- How should the O.U. relate to each other?
- Who does what and who is responsible for whom?

To equip an organization with an organization chart allows to:

- Express formal authority relations and lines of responsibility
- Promoting visibility and comprehensibility of the structure to external operators
- Precisely define the ratios and operational scope of the different O.U.
- To allow to program the career paths and favors the insertion of new figures (new recruits)
- Facilitate management control
- Get a valid reference to recognize the parts of an organization, the way they are connected to each other.
DRAWING AN ORGANIZATION CHART ALLOWS YOU TO UNDERSTAND IF THERE ARE OVERLAPPING AREAS OR UNCOVERED AREAS TO MANAGE.
