Strato Engineering (Scenario)
Recently Strato Engineering, a technology product company, began the use of a 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 director technology, marketing research director, cost analysis director, operations director production, and the four highest-dollar project vendors. The preliminary projection for the lifetime of the team to prototype-production is expected to be 2 years due to the level of technology involved in the product.

It is composed of members in the areas of: procurement, engineering, production, major vendors, and Strato Engineering customers' procurement agents. None of the members of this team are at the same location. They utilize a variety of graphic-electronic technologies to view the product onscreen in three-dimension at each location simultaneously. At the Denver facility, a team (4) has been formed to stamp a new part. It requires four members, and they rotate jobs every 2 hours. Before beginning the workday, they meet for about 10 minutes and discuss the work that needs to be completed that day. The team makes most of the day-to-day decisions about their work responsibilities.
