Let's go far away. The fact that there is a sort of the concept called "corporate culture." If she is in the company at a low level in the near future, expect trouble. After all, the level of production culture determines how quality will be carried out all the work and how high is the probability of marriage goods. Proper authorities at the factory (and not only) by all means, will fight for the improvement of the quality work and try to raise as much as possible above the level of workers' cultural level of their responsibility to their labor.

A striking example of the struggle for workplace culture is the story, not afraid of this word, the legendary designer of artillery weapons Grabin Basil Gavrilovic. He vividly complained in his memoirs that the fight for a high level of production culture was very difficult in 1930. However, to do this it was necessary to reduce the number of defective products, increase production and raise the overall level of build quality.

Grabin attempted to take various measures in the fight for quality, but they were given or insufficient, or temporary effect. As a result, engineers had to literally bring the factories of army discipline! And it helped.

Interesting fact: Grabin also once made to the most important production was moved to a room with good ventilation and natural lighting. Such seemingly small things immediately had a positive effect.

Why this story has been given? And besides, the situation at Ford plants at the dawn of the automotive era The situation in the same way. Initially, there reigned a terrible sloppiness, and the word "discipline" was all dirty. Moreover, the workers had a bad habit to throw garbage and trash in the corners of the shop. All this prevented the work, so Henry Ford began to restore order, forcing the workers to look after themselves, and for the plant. The angles began to paint light paint, that has always been clearly seen, that they are empty.
