THE MAPLE PRESS COMPANY, YORK, PA, PREFACE The importance of increasing the productivity of labor in industry as a means of enabling-a greater number of people to share in an ever-increasing material prosperity has recently received recognition from industry and the general public alike. Society as a whole can share only what it produces, and however much the machinery for sharing may leave to be desired, the importance of increasing the productivity of our producing units cannot be overlooked. The layman quite commonly associates increasing the pro ductivity of labor with the invention and use of new or improved machines or the discovery of new processes of manufacture. New machines and processes are important in this connection, of course, and have been since the beginning of industrial history. In many cases, new machines or processes are not avail able, or if they are, the money to purchase and install them may not be at hand. The idea of seeking to increase productivity need not bedropped in such cases, however. It has been demon strated repeatedly that existing methods and processes can be improved if subjected to searching and systematic analysis, and the results that are obtained in the way of production increases are often equal to or greater than those which would result from the installation of new machinery. It is the purpose of this book to describe the procedure for conducting operation analyses. Its application is inexpensive in comparison with the purchase of new equipment and once started it usually pays for itself many times over in the form of direct money savings. The application of the procedure is not limited to trained technicians, but it may be applied successfully by any industrial supervisor who wishes to bring about improve ments in operating methods. The book, therefore, will be of interest to all progressive men connected with the producing activities of any industrial enter prise, as well as to the serious student of the methods engineering procedure. The principles set forth are simple common-sense vi PREFACE principles which are readily understandable to the practical shop man. In all cases, the application of these principles is illustrated by numerous case examples drawn from many types of industry. The procedure itself was developed by the authors to remove the process of operation analysis from the indefinite status of something which should precede every motion and time study 77 and to make of it instead a specific, systematic procedure which would give results in the form of methods improvements. In so doing, the operation analysis procedure was developed into a tool which can be used by foremen, tool designers, inspectors, andother shop supervisors as well as by the methods engineer. The authors wish here to express their appreciation to those industrial organizations who so freely cooperated in furnishing illustrative material for the case examples given throughout the book, particularly the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, The Murray Corporation of America, The Pennwood Company, and The Mine Safety Appliances Company. Appre ciation is also expressed to Mr...
