Methods of the Santa Fe (Classic Reprint): Efficiency in the Manufacture of Transportation: Efficiency in the Manufacture of Transportation (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
How a railroad built efficiency with people, process, and care. This nonfiction work explores a practical system where training, fair rewards, and thoughtful workplace design align to improve performance across shops and crews.
The book details an orderly approach to apprenticeship, showing how foremen, instructors, and supervisors collaborate to guide young workers, reduce waste, and build reliable, skilled labor. It also explains how a structured bonus plan ties pay to measured efficiency, encouraging steady improvement without sacrificing safety or humanity. Beyond the factory floor, it describes clean, well?kept facilities, health care, reading rooms, and recreational programs that keep workers engaged and healthier.
- A clear path from basic skills to skilled tasks, with a phased, supervised sequence of machines and jobs.
- A bonus system that rewards genuine efficiency while protecting workers from intense pressure.
- Broad support for employees: clean shops, medical care, reading rooms, and recreation to improve morale.
- Standardized schedules and documentation that simplify planning and fairness across locations.
Ideal for readers of industrial history and management case studies who want concrete examples of how a large transportation enterprise aligned culture, training, and payoff to achieve results.
