Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) are a multidisciplinary teamwork approach to implement Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) and enable making the right decisions at the right time. IPTs are composed of representatives from all appropriate functional disciplines working together with a team leader to build successful and balanced programs, identify and resolve issues, and make sound and timely decisions. The purpose of IPTs is to make team decisions based on timely input from the entire team (e.g., program management, engineering, manufacturing, test, logistics, financial management, procurement, and contract administration) including customers and suppliers.
