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.
