Enhancing fab performance under team council methodology

The objective of this paper is to outline and describe the process of developing team councils in a wafer fab organization. Initially, we present the historical background and why we thought this type of approach was necessary to achieve high performance from all levels of the organization. A road map to success as well as a task level migration matrix describes the different levels of responsibility needed to achieve the results described in the conclusion of this paper. Though this process is still evolving and developing in the authors' South Portland fab, the paper describes the necessary steps to implement this process.
