The Obsession With Processes!!!

I visited Intel's plant in Shanghai in 2006 as part of the business school curriculum. While there were a lot of interesting things that I observed, one thing clearly stood out( and I am happy that I took a picture of it).

So I excuse myself to take a leak and come across this thing staring at me. Gone are the days when you expected all the neat graffiti from the previous contributor to the urinal. It is all about imparting learning and making your employees better...even helping them out with some leaking etiquette grounded in high school physics on trajectories!!

Intel is known for a very pervasive process control around the world and I am pretty sure that this picture exists in a lot of its plants around the world.One thing that I am wondering is that do people really get an opportunity to wet their feet? I though even in developing countries, every one came to work in some footwear!!!
