An Investigation of Work Group Co-Location in an Organizational Flowchart Model
Abstract
The problem of this study was to develop a model flowchart that incorporates the functions traditionally performed by the Engineering, Planning, and Mock-up segments of a specific aircraft manufacturing company into a co-located, multi-organizational, interactive group. The function of the group, termed the Product Definition Group in this study, was to design the dimensions of, and schedule the installation of, fuselage insulation blankets for commercial aircraft.
