Teams at Strato Engineering
(Scenario)
Strato Engineering, a technology
product company, recently organized Team 1 to develop the next generation of
the company's model CVF-D. The team is composed of the product development
manager, chief engineer, director of procurement, human resource directortechnology,
marketing research director, cost analysis director, operations
directorproduction, and the four highest-dollar project vendors. The
preliminary projection for the lifetime of the team to prototype production is
expected to be two years due to the level of technology involved in the
product. Team 2 has also been recently established to solve a problem with an
adhesive used to attach a thin-foil material to a finished metal surface. There
are three members in this team: installer, engineer, and sales representative
for the adhesive manufacturer. They operate without a manager and no one in
particular is the leader. It is anticipated that it will require about two days
to solve the problem. Team 3 has been working together for four years implementing
modifications to the company's current model CVF-C. It is composed of members
from procurement, engineering, and production. It also includes several vendors
and Strato Engineering customers' procurement agents. None of the members of
this team are at the same location. They use a sophisticated computer-aided
design program to view the product onscreen in three-dimensional form at each
location simultaneously. At the Oshawa facility, Team 4 has been formed to
stamp a new part. It requires four members, and they rotate jobs every two
hours. Before beginning the workday, they meet for about 10 minutes and discuss
the work that needs to be completed that day.
