Abstract

Human performance is recognised quite rightly as being the most important of all the factors governing production. It is a blend of speed and skill depending very much upon circumstances. We have already seen (chapter 2) that people working on the same factory order do best by:

  • Getting to know one another

  • Agreeing to finish their work and meet at prearranged intervals

  • Keeping one another informed

  • Allowing one another to get on with the job uninterrupted in the meantime.
