Book excerpt: Excerpt from Factory and Office Administration, Vol. 4 Wilbur Wright once said that out of the sixty seconds in a minute an aviator is busily engaged for fifty-nine in keeping his machine on an even keel. A flying machine must always move in order to stay aloft. If it stops it falls. Movement and balance are the two cardinal elements in a science of business administration; and eternal vigilance is the price which every manager must pay for progress in his business, and efficiency which comes from running smoothly. In this book we are concerned primarily with the working of these principles in their application to the factory and the office. And while the main principles of management here laid down apply as well to other fields of business administration, their application is confined here to the functions of production and to those functions which coordinate the various activities necessary to promote accuracy and harmony in operations between departments, between men and between production and distribution elements of business, i.e., the office. Sometimes a book can be described best by telling what it is not. This is especially true where the point of view in the book is new.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Organization and Administration, Vol. 1: Factory Management Course Experience with a large variety of manufacturing concerns has convinced me that the difierence between the successful and the unsuccessful concern is simply the difierence between the right and the wrong consideration of that most important of all factors in industry - the human factor. The more I analyze matters, the more certain I become that man is the real investment in business. Money is of course important, materials and machinery have to be purchased, but beyond and above all these things stands man. The success of an enterprise depends entirely upon the men who are charged with the care and handling of the material resources. In other words, a wise investment in men insures a good return in dollars and cents, and a poor investment in men means, sooner or later, the failure of the concern.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Factory Administration in Practice: Organization and Administration From the Factory Standpoint The publication of a book on Factory Administration is a by no means unique event, for there are at the present time many excellent volumes in existence, and it is not with the idea of challenging these that this book is presented. Each existing work, whether it be a general treatise or a reference book, has its own place in the industrial world, and it is the ambition of the author to be considered worthy to be named with those who have already contributed their quota to industrial literature. The books on Factory Administration already in existence, seem for the most part to have been written by the accountant for the accountant, and as a consequence it is to be feared that real factory conditions have been to some extent disregarded. It is no doubt right and proper that, as finance and accounts are the key to the situation, factory organization should be of peculiar interest to the accountant, but unfortunately, what may be considered as near perfect as possible in the accountants department, is not of necessity so near perfection when applied to the stern realities of the workshop. One point, therefore, which may commend itself to the reader, is that this book has been written from the factory standpoint, from which it may be inferred that the difficulties and troubles encountered in the shops are appreciated and sympathetically referred to. In short, the book is written to appeal to the factory man, the works manager, the department foreman, and each and every active member of the factory administrative staff. The views expressed - the schemes outlined - are the results of sixteen years practical experience, gained through the authors association with well-known engineering firms, and administration from the factory standpoint is a subject which merits consideration. Another point which will not fail to attract notice is that the progress system is for probably the first time brought into prominence.

Download or read book Factory Administration and Accounts written by Edward T. Elbourne and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Factory Administration and Accounts: A Book of Reference With Tables and Specimen Forms, for Managers, Engineers and Accountants The aim of this work is to present an analytical study of the problems pertaining to factory administration and accounts as a whole, in such a way as to be understandable alike by the business man, the accountant and the engineer. Previously the subject of management, more particularly works management, has been written of as being apart from works accounts, in any full sense, and especially from financial accounts. The present comprehensive treatment has necessitated virtually two books in one, and special attention has therefore been given to condensation in tabular form, wherever possible. Further, to bring this within practical reach it has been necessary to consider more specifically the class of factories or works engaged in the engineering and machine making industries. In attempting to set out the problems that necessarily arise in administration, the author has sought to elucidate principles rather than to enlarge on the particular methods of any one firm, which must necessarily be governed by special conditions, and in many details, reflect the peculiarities of staff arrangements. Touching the problem of analysis, there has seemed no alternative to referring to some items under a number of heads. This has increased the responsibilities attaching to the index, but has made for more complete discussion under the respective heads or sections. The work as a whole may hardly be said to reduce administration to a science, but it is intended as a demonstration both of the desirability and feasibility of a critical treatment of every routine essential to the well-being of a factory. As to what routine is essential to efficiency in any given case depends on local conditions rather than local opinion. The size of any Works does not regulate the relative size of all its problems as compared with larger Works, and it seems fundamentally wrong to tackle the consideration of this subject, in theory or practice, with the idea that the problems necessarily differ in kind. They certainly differ in degree, and they differ most in the relative risks attaching to neglect of proper routine or organisation. The arrangement of the book is based on the sequence of the actual workings of a factory as far as practicable. The book is divided into six sections.

Download or read book Administrative and Industrial Organization written by James B. Griffith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Administrative and Industrial Organization: Instruction Paper Reduced to its simplest form, we will suppose the business under consideration to be a small retail establishment conducted by two partners. No thought has been given to the principles of organiza tion, yet they are applied in that little store just as surely as in the im mense manufacturing plant. Ask any commercial salesman calling on the firm who is the man to see regarding the introduction of a new line of goods, and he will probably answer, Mr. Jones is the man to see; he does the buying. With no thought of organization, the owners of this little business realize that it is best for one man to do the buying. Perhaps the other may inspect samples, his opinion may be asked, he may even place an occasional order, but it is not the rule of the establishment. By placing the buying in the hands of one partner, confusion is avoided. He can keep in closer touch with prices, and the results are far more satisfactory.

Book excerpt: ***Over a half-million sold! And available now, the Wall Street Journal Bestselling sequel The Unicorn Project*** “Every person involved in a failed IT project should be forced to read this book.”—TIM O'REILLY, Founder & CEO of O'Reilly Media “The Phoenix Project is a must read for business and IT executives who are struggling with the growing complexity of IT.”—JIM WHITEHURST, President and CEO, Red Hat, Inc. Five years after this sleeper hit took on the world of IT and flipped it on it's head, the 5th Anniversary Edition of The Phoenix Project continues to guide IT in the DevOps revolution. In this newly updated and expanded edition of the bestselling The Phoenix Project, co-author Gene Kim includes a new afterword and a deeper delve into the Three Ways as described in The DevOps Handbook. Bill, an IT manager at Parts Unlimited, has been tasked with taking on a project critical to the future of the business, code named Phoenix Project. But the project is massively over budget and behind schedule. The CEO demands Bill must fix the mess in ninety days or else Bill's entire department will be outsourced. With the help of a prospective board member and his mysterious philosophy of The Three Ways, Bill starts to see that IT work has more in common with a manufacturing plant work than he ever imagined. With the clock ticking, Bill must organize work flow streamline interdepartmental communications, and effectively serve the other business functions at Parts Unlimited. In a fast-paced and entertaining style, three luminaries of the DevOps movement deliver a story that anyone who works in IT will recognize.

Download or read book Human Dimension and Interior Space written by Julius Panero and published by Watson-Guptill. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of human body measurements on a comparative basis is known as anthropometrics. Its applicability to the design process is seen in the physical fit, or interface, between the human body and the various components of interior space. Human Dimension and Interior Space is the first major anthropometrically based reference book of design standards for use by all those involved with the physical planning and detailing of interiors, including interior designers, architects, furniture designers, builders, industrial designers, and students of design. The use of anthropometric data, although no substitute for good design or sound professional judgment should be viewed as one of the many tools required in the design process. This comprehensive overview of anthropometrics consists of three parts. The first part deals with the theory and application of anthropometrics and includes a special section dealing with physically disabled and elderly people. It provides the designer with the fundamentals of anthropometrics and a basic understanding of how interior design standards are established. The second part contains easy-to-read, illustrated anthropometric tables, which provide the most current data available on human body size, organized by age and percentile groupings. Also included is data relative to the range of joint motion and body sizes of children. The third part contains hundreds of dimensioned drawings, illustrating in plan and section the proper anthropometrically based relationship between user and space. The types of spaces range from residential and commercial to recreational and institutional, and all dimensions include metric conversions. In the Epilogue, the authors challenge the interior design profession, the building industry, and the furniture manufacturer to seriously explore the problem of adjustability in design. They expose the fallacy of designing to accommodate the so-called average man, who, in fact, does not exist. Using government data, including studies prepared by Dr. Howard Stoudt, Dr. Albert Damon, and Dr. Ross McFarland, formerly of the Harvard School of Public Health, and Jean Roberts of the U.S. Public Health Service, Panero and Zelnik have devised a system of interior design reference standards, easily understood through a series of charts and situation drawings. With Human Dimension and Interior Space, these standards are now accessible to all designers of interior environments.

Download or read book Reorganizing the Factory written by Nancy Hyer and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2001-10-22 with total page 788 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2003 Shingo Prize! Reorganizing work processes into cells has helped many organizations streamline operations, shorten lead times, increase quality, and lower costs. Cellular manufacturing is a powerful concept that is simple to understand; however, its ultimate success depends on deciding where cells fit into your organization, and then applying the know-how to design, implement and operate them. Reorganizing the Factory presents a thoroughly researched and comprehensive "life cycle" approach to competing through cellular work organizations. It takes you from the basic cell concept and its benefits through the process of justifying, designing, implementing, operating, and improving this new type of work organization in offices and on the factory floor. The book discusses many important technical dimensions, such as factory analysis, cell design, planning and control systems, and principles for lead time and inventory reduction. However, unique to the literature, it also covers in depth the numerous managerial issues that accompany organizing work into cells. In most implementations, performance measurement, compensation, education and training, employee involvement, and change management are critically important. These issues are often overlooked in the planning process, yet they can occupy more of the implementation time than do the technical aspects of cells. Includes: Why do cells improve lead time, quality, and cost? Planning for cell implementation Justifying the move to cells, strategically and economically Designing efficient manufacturing and office cells Selecting and training cell employees Compensation system for cell employees Performance and cost measurement Planning and control of materials and capacity Managing the change to cells Problems in designing, implementing, and operating cells Improving and adapting existing cells Structured frameworks and checklists to help analysis and decision-making Numerous examples of cells in various industries
