What, and get in trouble with the DOJ? ;*)

How would a manufacturing company with a predominantly efficient factory process culture enable the free-wheeling, loose and creative environment of flourishing ideas, and fun, exciting and passionate implementations?

Shouting definitely doesn't create positive creative energy. But fun, positive brainstorming and implementation does. Following rules and orders doesn't foster creativity. Yet breaking them to establish new and better ideas does. Formality isn't creative. Top-down isn't creative. Yet, uniformity is efficient and less costly. How can a manufacturing company support both the efficient factory commodity-like culture and the intensely creative innovative culture? Aren't they inherently at odds? It seems Intel tries to do both.
