Working as one team is critical to efficiency, therefore a need exists to develop a model to implement a one team strategy among automotive manufacturing companies. Within automotive companies, departments may work in silos, thus individuals and departments work toward their own set goals. In order for an organization to function as one team, it is critical to remove silos as they contribute to the inefficiency of the organization.Qualitative method was implemented for the current study as the method is designed to explore and assess things that cannot be summarized numerically. A convenient sample of 19 participants-- all employees holding management, staff, and production roles working for an automotive OEM or a tier-one supplier of an OEM was sampled via interviews. Results were analyzed using systematic coding.The responses to each question were broken down into groups that consisted of the company the participant works for, years of service, and the position they currently hold at their company. Analyzing the data by the company each participant works for and the position held at their company were equally important in how the questions were answered. Management at automotive companies rely on working with other departments more than staff members or production employees. This notion was supported in the results. Some automotive companies do have some of the components of a one team mission, but none of the companies in this research fully have a one team mission implemented. In conclusion, not one organization represented in this study had a one team mission fully implemented. Implementing a one team mission starts at the management level. Management needs to implement objectives and goals that require all departments to collaborate for the ultimate goals and vision for the company. All departments should collaborate to ensure all goals are set for the benefit of the company and do not infringe on selected departments. This is the only way a true one team mission can be successful. 2020-08-10 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1594919380854259 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1594919380854259 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
