the part– safety teams oversee the making of the part for

personal and product safety– management teams coordinate all teams


Design Team

• develops the product to be made• evaluates the cost and demand for the

product• designs any needed holders or tooling to make

the product


Manufacturing Team

• takes the raw material and machines it into a finished product

• operates the needed equipment to perform the machining operations

• assembles the parts to make the product


Safety Team

• reviews the safe use of the product• inspects the operation of the machines while

the parts are produced to prevent injury


Management Team• decides on products to be

produced• hires employees • oversees the business• measures the

Religious discrimination includes failing to reasonably accommodate an employee’s religious practices where the accommodation does not impose undue hardship.
