Describes a cross‐functional project team set up to address the standardization of fasteners used in the assembly of construction machinery. Identifies low priority given to fastener selection in the design department and a lack of effective inventory control as the causes of the excessive number of fastener types in use. Details the cost savings and benefits of the standardization process. Outlines guidelines for effective cross‐functional teams.
