Describe how Sonora Foods Ltd is organised
Sonora Foods produce the following products: Tortillas, Nacho Bites,
Taco’s, Burritos, Wraps and Seasoning Blends. Sonora Foods is divided
into four teams. These are: Senior Management Team, Operations Team,
Finance Team, Hygiene Team and the Technical Team. All these teams
have a managers and team leaders to keep each department running
smoothly.
The operations staff at Sonora Food are organised to work with
different shifts. These are: day shift, 40 hours a week (7am-4pm).
Afternoon shift, 35 hours a week (4pm-midnight) and night shift, 32.5
hours a week (midnight-7am). These are the shifts and working hours
for the operatives. The wage is £5.35 during the day and rises to £10
for staff working on the night shift. This is how the operatives are
organised, this has been successful for Sonora as all the operatives
are happy with the arrangements allocated to their jobs. Operatives
are the employees who are based on the production floor to produce the
goods and keep the production line up and running smoothly throughout
the day. All the four teams have an organisational chart. There are
two types of organisational charts which businesses use. They’re flat
structure and tall structure. Tall structures have lots of layers,
which represent the difference in jobs and how much work is needed to
do each one. The jobs at the top end of the chart will be managers and
directors, these jobs will pay more than the jobs lower down the
chart. Flat structures have fewer layers and are more used in smaller
businesses. These have the higher staff at the top then a larger
number of staff who are working with different jobs, but these jobs
are at the same level of priority and rate of pay.

The indirect ELISA can be used to detect the presence of antibodies and forms the basis of the test for Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (Berg et al, 2002). In this test, viral core proteins (the antigen) are absorbed to the bottom of a well. Antibodies taken from the patient is then added to the coated well in order for it to bind to the antigen. Finally, enzyme-linked antibodies and human antibodies, such as goat antibodies that recognise human antibodies react inside the well and any unbound antibodies are removed by washing the plate. Substrate is then applied to the well. If an enzyme reaction occurs, this suggests that the enzyme-linked antibodies were bound to human antibodies, which in turn, implies that the patient had antibodies to the viral antigen (Lennette et al, 1987).

The increase in numbers was not too high considering the amount of employment the maquiladoras provided at that specific time from Tijuana to our border city, Juarez.
