Team Structure
•Size
–Four to 10 members. Larger teams become less effective and have minimal commitment to the problem solving effort. Larger teams should assess whether a steering committee and/or subgroups should be established.
•Support Needed
–‘Appropriate’ levels of the organization must be represented.
•Environment
–Meeting locations are critical to good teamwork. A site should be quiet and not disruptive to team members. A site near the work area permits easy data collection and customer interaction is beneficial.
