This short video reminds me of the plant I first worked in. It was located in the "old" part of Warren, Ohio. And I was able to visit some old brick factories in New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. As manufacturing in the US winds down it seems there are fewer of these places. Companies sometimes abandon older building for new steel frame technology park buildings. I remember one time when a company left their old building for a newer, better building, the old VP of Logisitics basically had a nervous breakdown and didn't make the move. He just retired. He had been there for ages and the old plant was his home.

A Plant Rat works in the plant, factory, refinery, or processing facility. Somehow we learn to navigate the maze. Here we can exchange information, ideas and questions to help us improve the manufacturing process. We must reduce variation and standardize our work to produce the best quality possible.
