Increasing Production and Decreasing Cost in Putting Up Piece Goods: How One Finishing Plant Has Reorganized for Quality Production and Increased Quantity
Article · 10 pages
First part of a 1929 article describing how a cotton-cloth finishing plant reorganized its put-up (folding, wrapping, ticketing) department to raise output and cut cost. It covers the original congested layout and staffing, the planned reorganization into dispatcher, record clerk, inspector and supervisor roles, and motion-study work on bundling pieces of cloth.

It ends with "To be continued".
