You should consider obtaining internal and external quality assurance reviews of the study (to ferret out errors in modeling, data, etc.). Independent peer reviews of the QRA results can be helpful by presenting alternate viewpoints, and you should include outside experts (either consultants or personnel from another plant) on the QRA review panel. You should also set up a mechanism wherein disputes between QRA team members (e.g., technical arguments about safety issues) can be voiced and reconciled. All of these factors play an essential role in producing a defendable, high-quality QRA. Once the QRA is complete, you must formally document your response to the project team s final report and any recommendations it contains.

Such collaborations as represented in the project team have been described by Watts (1985) as important for the snccess of action research. He pointed ont that it is important for teachers to help each other by working collaboratively and that working with external colleagues supports them in their professional development. Our collaborative action research experience snpport these statements, namely it seems that the success of the investigation is to a great proportion due to the effective collaboration between the involved partners (the specific roles of partners are described earlier). 

One of the roles of a toxicologist involved in early discovery as a project team representative can be to generate a list of potential and likely toxicities deduced from target-related information such as tissue expression, similarity to other targets, precedent described in literature and sometimes chemical structure similarity.

A version of these team roles, modified by Boddy and Buchanan (1992) to fit with the experience of the project managers they researched is presented in Box 7.8. Expect, as project leader, to fulfil all of these roles at some time or other. They are all competences that can be learned and practised.

Some of the old players, such as chemistry and pharmacology, have decreased roles but may continue to serve on the team to provide scientific expertise when new problems arise. The roles of many project team members substantially expand. The new players and expanded roles of members include ... 

The best coordination of a project is achieved by a good project plan. The plan delegates the project tasks and links the activities and project team members. It allocates all resources including money and contains all necessary elements to measure and control time, cost and success. Finally, a project plan is a very effective means of communication On the one hand it serves to explain the project to those who pay for it. (After that stage many project plans unfortunately tend to disappear and are forgotten.) More importantly, the project plan tells and continually reminds the members of the project team of the purpose of the whole project, what their roles and tasks are and what exactly they have to provide at what time in order to make the project a success. 

Resources. Employees (icons on the left) such as Schneider, Bayer, etc. are organized into project teams which are represented by organization charts. Each box represents a position, lines reflect the organizational hierarchy. Employees are assigned to positions (or roles). Within a project, an employee may play multiple roles. E.g., Mrs. Bayer acts both as a designer and as a simulation expert in the Polyamide-6 team. 

Resource management deals with the organizational structure of the enterprise as far as it is relevant to design processes. AHEAD distinguishes between abstract resources (positions or roles) and concrete resources (employees). The manager may define a project team and then assign employees to the project positions.
