Multi Functional Teams

Groups formed from people with varying skill-sets typically across departments to achieve a business goal. Groups become "Teams" when they behave like teams. Using Multi functional Teams can be of great benefit to most companies especially when they work with complex issues that require expertise from numerous backgrounds. Kaizen events will create a "Kaizen Team" that includes operators form the area we are working on, staff from "feeding" and "supplying" areas, a supervisor, a maintenance tech, perhaps a secretary, and maybe even a janitor.
