From the Paper:

"Axis Manufacturing is a 5000 employee sub-contractor that produces aircraft components for the US Military. Recently, Axis supervisors have noticed a considerable drop in employee motivation among line staff. The factory is a 24 X 7 operation with three working shifts. The standard working day is 8 hours. Due to the War on Terrorism, production demands have increased and workers must meet much higher quotas than before the war began."
