However, old employees’ strength is having much experience and working in their own way. In addition, they work carefully and follow a process with full stages planning in advance. Certainly, their position is totally stable because they have worked for a long time.

Secondly, the most important reason I would like to mention is adapting to new technologies and automatic machines as soon as possible. The young are very keen on new modern machines also new soft-wares which have concerned with computers.
