Management facilitator—Mentoring the team leader and clearing roadblocks for the team, rather than direct involvement in task completion, are appropriate activities. 

A proposed product development process that facilitates designing capable and reliable products has been outlined above. It must be stressed that the product development process itself will not produce quality products, and consideration of many issues are crucial to success, such as company strategy, management structure, commitment, sufficient resources, communication, and most importantly proficient engineering practices, such as the following. 

Process Safety Management (PSM), under OSHA, attempts to protect employees exposed to toxicity, tire, or explosion. Many plants employing chemical engineers must do a PSM consisting of fourteen parts. Some of the parts are greatly facilitated if the team includes chemical engineers. 

Research management has the responsibility to create a working environment that promotes, encourages, rewards, and facilitates the application of inherent safety in the development of process chemistries. 

A multidisciplinary approach is another term for a cross-functional team or a project team. Such teams comprise representatives from each line and staff department so that decisions are taken close to the development work by those who will need to implement the decisions or verify their implementation. Such teams facilitate communication and overcome delays that often occur when reliant upon line-staff relationships. If you have adopted the project management approach this requirement is not additional to that in clause 4.2.4.1.

The final element in management s communication of a desire to reduce human error is the identification and elimination of error-likely situations. Every task is an opportunity for a human error, but some situahons represent greater risks than others. Identifying these high-risk situations is not easy and an expertise in applying human factors principles to the workplace is an essential prerequisite for this identification. Eliminating these hazardous situations is often relatively simple once they have been identified. In some cases it may be appropriate to provide error-tolerant systems, which are those that facilitate identification of and recovery from the errors. 

All group working sessions should be led by someone with a strong background in Quality Management and good facilitation skills. It is important that these individuals have the ability to draw out ideas from the team without imposing their own ideas. These facilitators need not be full-time members of the team, but are called upon when needed.
