Work teams are defined as a collection of two or more people who interact with each other to achieve certain goals or needs. A team is defined as a formal group that works together to achieve group goals. The Aberdeen organization is one that thrives on teamwork. Tams ranged from 3 to 16 and handled every aspect of the plant's work. Teams are responsible for planning working hours, purchasing materials and tools, coordinating with other teams, evaluating team members' performance, recommending salary increases, generating reports, and managing any problems that arose in the management of the plant. Every Aberdeen employee is assigned to a team. Each team had a supply officer, a safety officer, and a quality officer who paid close attention to those areas. Teams meet as needed to discuss and resolve issues they face. The Green River plant had no work groups or crews. The establishment was so divided that thinking about groups was seemingly impossible. Green River also has a union unlike the Aberdeen plant, which may contribute to the plant not working as a team. The union may not allow groups or teams to have the same control that employees at the Aberdeen plant have. The Aberdeen method may not work at the Green River plant due to the plant's configuration. Green River is set up as individual stations, not allowing for teamwork. The plant's employees are used to working individually and specializing in a single task. To make positive changes in work groups/teams at each location, plant managers should be able to recognize that team performance often fails due to process loss due to lack of motivation and coordination problems in teams. Social loafing also plays a vital role in workgroup/team failures. Social loafing is where team members may feel that their efforts are not important. Social laziness can be eliminated by making each individual performance identifiable, making each employee feel they can make an important and useful contribution to the team. The manager could try to develop group cohesion. In the implementation phase of workgroup development, managers should consider employees' reaction to such a dramatic change.
