The effectiveness of a system should be, not a matter of opinion, but of absolute record. Hence our system records results of quality, quantity, or other desired items obtained in each department.

Excerpt from A System Manual: For the Use of the Executive Officers and Purchasing Agents of the United States Steel Company

Modern business methods progress continually towards a scientific standpoint. Competition forces methods that seek to eliminate or minimize human error. The clerical and executive functions of a large business, if left to the discretion of individuals, develop a failure to do the same things twice in the same way. Errors involving revision of work, unconscious change in policies, and often worse results constantly occur. These errors cost dollars and cents. Ultimately they enter into the cost of product, if a manufacturing business, or the cost of marketing if a commercial business. The concern producing an operation at the lowest cost becomes the keenest blade in competitive conflict.

Thus, Business System becomes as important as cost of raw material.

There are good and bad methods for a clerk who merely tends a soda-fountain. The quantity of syrup in each drawing, the condition of the soda, the cleansing of the glasses, the handling of the money, can be expressed in writing. Once in writing, the proprietor can study and observe. As he perceives possibilities of improvement in saving of time, or other ways, he changes his system, always in writing, in one point or another. After a while he has it so improved he can change it but rarely. But the written system stands always as a standard for the clerk, and he must not deviate from it.
