CU Teaming Model: Drawing out general principles (from the case of D&E)

1. Each Function will organize itself into P0, P1, P2, P3 and P4.
2. In P0, P1, P2, P3, and P4 – each function will have capability units. E.g. “MHS Design” is one Capability Unit.
3. Each Capability Unit will have a CU Leader. He is responsible for all deliverables across DUs. (Equivalent a Project Manager). This CU Leader will talk to the Engineering Managers.
4. Each function will have potential G6 members marked out. E.g. in D&E it will be Engineering Managers. This is an additional capability. A person can be an EM & part of a CU.
5. G6 membership is a developmental tool. E.g. Slab Grinder DU – someone from product engineering can be an EM. It gives them an opportunity to learn.
6. All communications of changes must go to the Engineering Manager to avoid mishaps:

Example: The Process Engineering Team freezes P&ID, Process flows. Based on that, it has goes to the Material handling design team. They found some fault because of say a vibrating screen and they make a process change. In such a case, they can make this change without Engineering Manager or Process Engineering knowing it. Later it can cause lot of difficulty. To avoid this, any such changes must go through an approval/ sign off/ communication with Engineering Manager.
