Job design option 3
Job design option 3 requires Jackson to be part of a team responsible for completely assembling circuit boards for the computers. The team has a weekly production quota but makes its own plans for the speed and arrangement of the required assembly processes. The team is also responsible for inspecting the quality of the finished boards and for correcting any defective units. These duties are shared among the members and are discussed at team meetings. Jackson has been selected by the team as its factory liaison. In addition to his other duties, he works with people elsewhere in the factory to resolve any production problems and achieve factory-wide quality objectives.
