Summary:

Several factors influence a company working culture including its industry, its geographical region, as well as the cultural and the educational background of its employees. Despite these, Japanese companies have successfully transferred a company's working culture from Japan to other countries [2], so that only minor regional differences in productivity remain. Such transfer is possible with a strong process oriented mind set and working style.This paper examines the change in a working culture associated with the prototyping of exhaust systems in India. That change required a shift from a reactive "firefighting" mode of working to a structured, projectable and reliable working environment. The goal was to achieve increased in-time delivery, higher quality, greater flexibility, more innovation and reduced cost.The same process approach may be transferred from India to other parts of the world, while allowing for country-specific influences on a company's working culture
