I have worked on, set-up, aircraft production and rework lines across four manufacturing entities, two private, two governmental.

FOD is a management issue, pure and simple. Human nature is all about leaving FOD behind. Companies decide what is a priority and the manufacturing floor reacts accordingly.

Same as it ever was.

My son worked two summers for a good friend of mine who owns a foreign car repair shop. Things got busy, Bill didn't do the in process checks on the repair my son was doing but did do a rag and tool count before he started or released the car. My son was down one rag.

Jack found it inside the rocker cover. Bill charged Jack for time, materials and being stupid.

Management issue for 95% of the problem.
