Excerpt from Industrial Fatigue in Its Relation to Maximum Output
Except in a few cases, workshop organisation here has not received the attention given it in America and Germany. There are still shops without definite planning of the progress of the work, without adequate equipment of jigs and gauges, and without standard shapes of tools or a tool-room where men drift about in search of tools and tackle, or wait in idle ness for drawings or materials; where machinery is obsolete and light so bad that good work could not be done if the machinery were up - to-date. Such shops must go. They cannot compete in price or quality of work with those in which what is known as scientific management, or anything approaching it, prevails; where the progress of every job is planned to the last detail before it is sent into the works; where machinery is so arranged that each piece passes through the whole series of operations to be performed on its pre determined order and without pause, and is immediately succeeded by another piece to undergo the same cycle of Operations; where labourers and tackle for fixing the work are ready the moment they are wanted; where drawings, gauges and tools properly ground to standard shapes come with the work; where cleanliness, light and comfort reign and where endeavour is made to get the workman to regard his work more as a problem to be solved than a task to be got through.
