    Rockford Register Star – Assemblers shift to team concept key to success

    A follow up to an article posted by Luke last week regarding Chrysler and teams. Here is a success story of a Chrysler plant in Illinois that made the transition, somewhat begrudgingly, to the team concept.

    One reason that workers were resistant to changing was that the plant, even without the team concept, was ranked at or near the top in Harbour productivity rankings. Nothing was mentioned about quality rankings though.

    You'd have to assume that, with the team concept, productivity would improve due to cross-training and improvement ideas.
