Excerpt from Handbook of Machine Shop Management
The viewpoint selected in preparing this book is a bold departure from that which has governed revious works on shop management. This can be best shown by awing a parallel between machine design and shop-system design.
In the field of machine design, we have many excellent handbooks which give fundamental data on the design of machine elements as shafts, bearings, gears, pulleys, clutches, and the like; but we have no book, aside from college text books, which purpose to tell the machine designer how to design a machine. That is, the machine designer uses no book that sketches a method, which begins per haps with the base, builds up the housings for the bearings, fits in the shafts, the driving pulleys, the gearing, and other operating parts to roduce a machine. The reason for this is obvious; the design 0 no two machines can be attacked in identical fashion, but fundamental data on design apply to all. This is the informa tion that the designer needs and seeks.
Many books have been written on industrial and shop manage ment, but they have taken the viewpoint that the reader wished to be told how to design a system. The giving of fundamental data on the elements and mechanisms that entered that system has been a secondary consideration. This viewpoint while perhaps proper in the past is wrong today.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a practical guide to the science of machine shop management, a field that was rapidly evolving in the early 20th century. The author, writing at a time when many factories were expanding in size and complexity, recognized the need for a more systematic approach to running a machine shop. He emphasizes the importance of standardized methods and systems, arguing that the lack of this in many shops creates inefficiency and hampers growth. The author draws parallels between machine design and shop system design, highlighting the need for a systematized approach to manage production, resources, and workforce. He emphasizes the importance of data collection, analysis, and the application of experience to improve processes, demonstrating the core values of efficiency and effectiveness that were becoming increasingly important to industrialists at this time. The book provides a comprehensive framework for managing machine shops, demonstrating how standardization and systematization can contribute to a more successful, productive, and cost-effective operation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
