For your final project, you will review two of the main topics we covered in the semester: self-directed work teams and the lean production model.
In one document write the following two ‘e-mails’, upload the file here.
1. Compose an email to your subordinate, Joe Brown, about self-directed work teams. Explain
what self-directed teams are, and their potential benefits and risks.
2. Your supervisor, the production manager of a company that recently shifted operations from
a traditional manufacturing model to a lean production model, has asked you to write an email to
H. Penny, the chief financial officer of the company, explains knowledge-based pay systems.
Penny is particularly interested in the rationale for adopting this payment system. In your email, be
sure to include the three categories of knowledge or skills that are covered in this system.
