@smanoj77
Thanks very interesting!

Would be cool if you could opt to have your car built by the "older" production line with their greater experience and the fact the cars they build have less faults!
That would be an option worth having -)

A great example of the social contract approach in germany. Can't help but think here in the UK, they'd just kick you out on your ass.

Great video. So innovative and nice to know the company cares not only about their profits, but also about their workers and ultimately their productivity.
