Vantaggi
You can have a large amount of autonomy dependent on role.
Svantaggi
Very few, if any, quality managers. Most try to project some sort of old-school, discipline oriented mentality.
Constant direction changes focuses.
Management is more interested in trying to get rid of people via automation and LLMs than bread-and-butter manufacturing processes. Very few leaders seem to have any real plant floor experiences.
Responsibility and accountability are pushed downward, so firings & layoffs occur frequently at the middle and lower layers, but upper management is somehow immune.
