SHOP MANAGEMENT
details of the work; a complete list of the tools and
implements was entered on the instruction card,
each tool being stamped with its own number for
identification, and all were issued from the tool
room in a tool box so as to keep them together and
save time. A separate piece work price was fixed
for each of the elements of the job and a thorough
inspection of each part of the work secured as it
was completed.
The instruction card for this work filled several
typewritten pages, and described in detail the order
in which the operations should be done and the exact
details of each man’s work, with the number of each
tool required, piece work prices, etc.
The whole scheme was much laughed at when it
first went into use, but the trouble taken was fully
justified, for the work was better done than ever
before, and it cost only eleven dollars to completely
overhaul a set of 300 H.P. boilers by this method,
while the average cost of doing the same work on
day work without an instruction card was sixty-two
dollars.
Regarding the personal relations which should be
maintained between employers and their men, the
writer quotes the following paragraphs from a paper
written in 1895. Additional experience has only
served to confirm and strengthen these views; and
although the greater part of this time, in his work of
shop organization, has been devoted to the difficult
and delicate task of inducing workmen to change
their ways of doing things he has never been opposed
by a strike.
