Narrative:
Air carrier Y was issued a missed approach runway 4R. North local trainee issued go around instructions to air carrier Z at the departure end of runway 9R to get in trial of him on a 140 heading. Air carrier Y was issued a 090 heading from south local controller to get in trail then issued 120 heading. Air carrier Y read back 090 and left the frequency. South local was alerted air carrier Y did not take the 120 heading and subsequently came side to side with air carrier X which resulted in a loss of separation. There were a few factors that did not help the incident. 1. The center console prevented both local controllers from providing instant visual separation. 2. I physically walked approximately 20 ft to point the departure out (air carrier Z) to the south local controller; as I was pointing out the runway 9R departure; my trainee departed air carrier X off runway 4L to a 090 heading. I strongly believe that if I didn't coordinate the exact location of the 9R departure a loss of separation or something more severe could have happened with that aircraft. 3. The setup of equipment by my trainee hindered my ability to ensure what heading air carrier X was on. 4. New procedure in place that puts pressure on local controllers to climb missed approaches up to 5;000 ft. This might not have been directly related but definitely is an issue at ord with missed approaches.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: ORD Controller providing OJT described a loss of separation event during multiple runway operations involving a departure and a missed approach; resulting in two aircraft being side by side with less than required separation.
