His decisions are predetermined by measurable limits of error furnished both him and the workman by the in- struction-card department. Many times, under traditional management, the inspector comes around after the work is done, condemns it, and walks away, leaving it to others to see that the work is replaced to his sat- isfaction. Under scientific management the in- spector is required to stand near the worker when he is handling a new piece of work for the first time, in order to see that the worker thoroughly understands his work as it progresses. Thus the first unit of the material is less likely to be spoiled. If the worker has a lot of, say, fifty pieces, the inspector inspects not only the first piece most carefully, to make sure that the worker knows exactly what he is to do, how he is to do it, and the quality and the prescribed toler- ances of drawing and instruction card but also the surrounding conditions, equipment, and tools that the important features of maintenance of standards and standard conditions are enforced.
