Integration team

First we will look at the constraints in the above groupings, but they are most effectively managed In an Integrated approach, since they all act simultaneously on the profitability of the producing field. This requires careful planning and control by a centralised, integrated team, which will also be discussed. 

In reading these guidelines, you refers not only to the reader, but also to the entire integration team. Thus, activities and requirements are not intended to be carried out by one person, but rather by one or more teams as described in Section 2.8 and elsewhere.

Try to select Quality Management tools that the integration team and other staff in your organization are familiar with otherwise invest time in training. 

You can also use the pilot study to provide a training ground for the integration team, with care to avoid overwhelming the subject department with the whole integration team. It is unlikely that you can fmd realistic opportunities to involve the whole team directly. But you may be able to... 

The integration team should review the design and implementation process. This will usually consist of two steps ... 

Al Bickman, Osprey River site manager, expects the work on the pilot study to start next month and be completed within 12 weeks. He has established a local team of managers, engineers, and operators to work with the integration team. Most of this team will be committed for up to half of their time. The team leader will be dedicated to the project. 

One of the areas in which a team was established from the outset was documentation systems (DS). The experience of the DS team will be used to illustrate the integration process. Comparable efforts were also undertaken by the other integration teams. 

The integration of documentation systems was a fairly high priority at the outset of the integration effort, and the findings of the individual integration teams did not reduce this priority. 

At this point the VP, ESH and his set of integration teams worked to develop the performance measures that would be used to assess both the success of the overall integration effort and Quality Chemical Company s performance in the areas of ESH and PSM. Some of the measures specific to documentation systems were ... 

One example of such a new approach is the hypercube architecture, in which many processors are linked together as a team to solve a single problem. A well-integrated team of cheap processing units can potentially outperform the most sophisticated single-processor machine. In addition, since each processor can have its own dedicated memory, the total system can have both more memory than current supercomputers and more memory in use at any given moment. 

FIG. 9-28 Integrated teams result In better FEL and better overall performance. 

The successful IND is most likely a result of cooperative work with an integrated team represented by Regulatory, Quality Assurance, Clinical, CMC, and others. Quality Assurance, for example, is likely to have valuable input into the design of the Investigator s Brochure Clinical can contribute important direction and focus to the literature review Regulatory may have CMC input of value and so forth. The integrated team is more likely to both produce a smoothly integrated document and assure that the content of that document represents a cohesive and systematic assurance of public safety, which is the primary FDA focus. 

Second, the integrated team can provide immediate and multiperspective feedback on all sections of the IND. The varied experiences of team members can help with questions and issues that extend beyond designated areas of responsibility. 

Finally, the integrated team approach mimics and hence best meets the FDA review process. While a variety of FDA groups have input into an IND review, those subunits meet in a committee format to discuss and evaluate the submission. As a result, a number of their questions and concerns represent... 

The integrated team is most likely to prove efficient, effective, and successful in IND (and other regulatory) submissions. 

There are some fundamental chemical engineering challenges in biotechnology. Only by forming integrated teams of chemical engineers and molecular biologists will the best solutions be found. 

THE STUDY OF SUCCESSFUL PROJECTS BY MANY COMPANIES HAS SHOWN THAT PROJECTS THAT HAVE AN INTEGRATED TEAM WITH CONTINUITY OF MEMBERSHIP PERFORM BETTER THAN PROJECTS NOT HAVING THOSE COMPONENTS. 

The integrated team will be formed as early in the project sequence as possible. Membership will include but is not limited to the following full-time members ... 

The Venture Manager helps the integrated team focus their energies towards accomplishing the project s goals. Specifically, these actions will be concentrated in ensuring ... 

The integrated team members are identified and made available for the duration of the project. 

The integrated team can adequately represent all the major stakeholders of the project. 

Coordination procedure. This shows, in writing, the responsibilities and authorities of each of the integrated team members. A sample of one of these appears in Appendix C. 

HELPING THE INTEGRATED TEAM AVOID THESE SITUATIONS CAN BE THE HARDEST PART OF THE VENTURE MANAGER S JOB. 

Notice, the objectives have not said anything yet about how the improvement in quality will be accomplished. The project goal is to improve profits through quality improvement. Making sure the integrated team understands this difference is critical. The goals should be stated in the most basic terms. 

The sensitivity analysis gives the impact of not meeting the assumptions. The next analysis determines the likelihood of the unprofitable event occurring. As in the sensitivity analysis, the combined knowledge of the integrated team and their assistants will be required to effectively answer the question of likelihood.
