Autotive production, including planning, design, engineering and manufacuring is a very complex process. It needs intensive coorperation of thousands of people. It's one of most complex task in human history. Building the Pyramid or Great Wall sure need organization, but far below the complex of building and engineering a car.
How to organize and coordinate among the teams? It's a big challege!
Teams have to have common goals. The interface between teams have to be designed well. A service model should be in place. A team/department should provide service and accept service to and from other teams. Response time, level of service should be specified explicitely.
A general process should be in place to make sure the flow of info/material is smooth among teams/departments.
The memembers should not be treated as robots. They are human being. They need to take responsibility and have a sense of accomplishment.
