A 1929 article from the first issue of The Melliand arguing that knitting mills should manage materials and production with graphic, visual control instruments rather than written and numerical records. It describes a 'Dynamic Graphic Control' system of color-coded indicator units, a Graphic Calculator (slide-rule style) for material and production requirements, a Graphic Planner using weekly colored cards, and a Graphic Locator for tracking orders. Figures include comparative charts, a Gantt-style chart and planning boards. The content concerns factory management in hosiery, underwear and outerwear plants, not weaving or knitting technique.
