Management for Production

Abstract"MANAGEMENT For Production", a pamphlet of 48 pages, price 2s. 6d., has been issued by the British Institute of Management to assist in raising pro-ductivity. It is based on experience gained in many industries and most of its suggestions are capable of immediate application and of yielding early results. The ten chapters cover the measurement of work, process planning, the lay-out and organisation of shops, motion study, production planning and control, the maintenance of plant, morale, incentive payments, the control of quality, and costing and control. To all but the second chapter, slender reading lists are appended of somewhat variable quality, but possibly reasonably well adapted to the needs of those to whom this pamphlet is primarily addressed, namely, the small manufacturer and those who have hitherto given little thought to the systematic management of production.
