  ACT, a Thai base, has thoroughly improved the "quality" of its manufacturing processes, achieving a 1.5-fold increase in production efficiency.

We interviewed them to find out what went behind the scenes of this organizational transformation, which saw a shift from "work that was forced upon them" to "work that was their own responsibility."
