Le «sans-faute» n'est pas une méthode de formation, mais une façon de récompenser les travailleurs qui ont effectué leur tâche sans aucune erreur pendant une certaine période, une semaine ou un mois, en général. On monte une puissante campagne contre les erreurs et on fixe une récompense intéressante, un mois de croisière par exemple, pour le vainqueur de la campagne du «sans-faute». 3, record 2, French, - sans%2Dfaute
