This document discusses the importance of teamwork in engineering, outlining various team roles based on Belbin's model to maximize individual and team effectiveness. It covers distinct functions such as task and maintenance roles, the development stages of teams, and emphasizes strong communication, commitment to quality, and an understanding of organizational strategy. The resource serves as an educational tool for the Edexcel HN unit focusing on design for manufacture.

Author: Leicester College Date created: Date revised: 2009 Abstract: Within Engineering much of the real work is done in teams. Teamwork plays a vital role in successfully developing products for the market place. This file discusses the types of roles the team members can fulfil and how to get the most out of both the individual and the team as a whole.
