Such changes would

be effective only at the location(s) specifically des ted.
E. Principles/Process for Effecting Change
The parties agree that there are principles for effecting change to standardization across operations,
wlthout restricting local Management and the Union from designing alternative solutions for the location's competitive challenges7 with from
b
Conditioning the Environment
The support, empowerment and dedication of the hourly work force are critical factors to aChieving continuous improvement. The Company's most important resource and the source of its strength are its employees, who must be trained, trusted. relied upon, and given an ever-increasing role in making decisions to meet the Company's and Union's goals and objectives i3.~rt of a standardized work group/~eam structure.
The work force'S sentiments and beliefs are vitally important and should be secured and understood. Employees' trust and support can be gained by involving them in defining, participating in, and influencing decisions for the implementation of the assignment for which they are responsible. The way employees feel about management and each other, the things they focus attention on, their decision-making methods, and the expectations they establish for themselves directly influence the work they perform.
Effective Communications
Employee awareness of the Company and Union goals and their strategic plans for achieving those goals is important. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that Management at each facility share data relative to how the facility contributes to the Company's overall success. These data should identify positive and negative aspects of each location's performance, and should be shared on a regular basis.
Sharing data between the parties, open communications, and sensitivity to the concerns of each other are critical to building and maintaining trust. The local parties should collectively work to gain the work force's commitment to higher involvement and excellence.
The Plant Manager and Plant Controller will share with the Union Chairperson the total budget task that the plant is being assigned.
As each plant determines how to manage its task, plans will be .shared with the Plant Chairperson. The Union's input 'Nill be invited, especially as to additional or alternative ways the task can be met.
Workgroups will be encouraged to identify total cost savings and waste elimination ideas that may contribute to the pl~nt'3 task achievement.

043A
Identification of Issues
When ng changes in existi~g agreements and practices, the proble~, precess, or system needing improve~ent should be clearly identified and its adverse impact on quality, customer satisfaction, job security, total cost or future business decisions should be understood. Data specific to the issue(s) being addressed should be shared and, if possible, the potential irnprove~ent quant if ied.
Guidelines
Having the work force participate in continuous improvement using teamwork is a fundamental principle for improving the entire operation and achieving the objectives of the business. Management and local union leadership should actively support the principles of employees working together, as well as being involved in identifying concerns and their resolutions. To this end, the local parties will commit to afford the opportunity for employees to participate and share their ideas in the plant's continuous improvement process. The structure and support of continuous improvement initiatives (e.g., forums) may vary by location and will be discussed on a regular basis by the local parties in the Local continuous Improvement Forum or in other meetings as appropriate.
The parties may, in certain cases, jointly set goals and objectives, strategically plan, measure the progress regularly, and communicate the results to the work force.
There should not be any intra- nor inter-plant competition for progress, but all locations should strive to improve their operation using appropriate benchmarking in order to determine opportunities for ongoing improvements. Resolutions of concerns addressed should be subject to change as business conditions change.
Local management and Union leadership must be involved personally and committed to bringing any agreed upon change to fruition.
Training
Before training is conducted, the training need and resources required to conduct the training should be clearly identified. The resources should not be reallocated without prior discussions between the lccal parties. The Company will ensure that necessary training, such as group problem solving, facilitation and instructional skills, effective listening and feedback, assertive communication, interpersonal skills, managing conflict, and diversity is provided on a timely basis to hourly employees, includin'J team leaders, group members, Union a.nd management leadership and others involved in the participative process. The local parties should Jointly select trainers or consultants based upon their proven tLlck recoc-d. These trainers or conmJ::'tants '~ollLi

prove to be 3 valuable asset in starting the improvement process. fuly
non-Company employees who will be contracted to provide training will be subject to prior approval of the National Continuous Improvement Forum. The approval wi I be based on the contractor'S credentials and proven trac~ record.
Because of the changing work force, the traditional role of the supervisor may change in the future to that of coach, innovator, educator and resource person; this transition will take time. Therefore, training members of supervision for this new role is important. All levels (supervisors, superintendents, area managers, union leadership and ) need to participate in training and retraining to implement the "new ways" of operating.
If required, training should be provided for newly appointed supervisors, union leadership and managers to ensure that progress 1S
not affected by leadership changes.
Utilize the skills. talents, and abilities of the skilled work force as an integral part of the production process. As such, they are a valuable resource to the continuous improvement work groups. Further training to enhance the abilities of the skilled work force will enable those employees to make an even greater contribution to these efforts.

Dear Mr.
During the 2011 negotiations the Union and Company had extensive disc~\lss~ons regarding the need to partner to deliver engaged and aligned work SLr-~ups7Eeams to a consistent standard, in all facilities, supporting the global_ manufacturing stra£e~
The parties recognize the contributions of our hourly workforce and a vision for fully integrated, motivated teams who work together to drive operational excellence and continuous improvement in support of "One Manufacturing - Best Iii.~theWorld". All work groups/teams will maintain and improve the business -against key objectives, within their span of control, and with the appropriate structure to support them.
The team leader rol~ is critical to each work group/team. They will be selected for this position through a jointly established process and will use standard roles and responsibilities to lead the team and continually improve the business.
E'or more automated areas, the parties agreed to the implementation of effective Manufacturing Work Groups(MWGs)comprised of production and skilled trade elllployees working together. The Company will not assign skilled trade team members to cyclical~production work. To ensure the success of manufacturing workgroups, a strong commitment to training is re<Ill.ire<!J2~ ~mployee, the Union, and the Company.
Manufacturing work groups will be modeled after those in place at the Ford of Europe, Valencia site. The parties will jointly develop a trainin5LEEQgram that provides the skills necessary forEE!plication of this model within North America. This pro9!am will be delivered in an efficient and cost effective manner utilizing o~-th,=.:-job, web-based, and/or classroom training, with the intent of delivering a program resulting in accreditation. Any new required production classification and wage rate within the manUfacturing work group shall be review!=d by the National Parties.
The Manufacturin~9.rk Group training..Erogram may include €!lements s\l.<:h_as work group effectiveness, improyin3...J?usiness results, technical skill~ including e~ent operation and other subjects deemed necessary. Training required to support manufacturing wor~groups will be administered comparable to the National Apprenticeship training program.
