Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the benefits of implementing a six-hour workday in industrial settings, specifically regarding labor productivity and efficiency. Leverhulme argues that decreasing the number of work hours can actually increase output and improve the overall quality of life for workers. Drawing on his experience in the chemical industry, he provides case studies and practical recommendations for implementing this shift.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Six-Hour Shift and Industrial Efficiency Progressive American employers are little troubled to-day by lack of capital. Also they very generally understand how to embody capital in plants and equipment that are technically up-to-date and efficient. It is not these factors that limit production but rather the failure of employees to put forth their best efforts. There are various explanations of this failure. Some employers say that the workers have deteriorated. Others place the blame on restrictions on output deliberately decided upon in the belief that the less work each does the more employment there will be for all. Whatever degree of truth there may be in these or other explanations, it is obvious that the root cause lies in the workers' indifference. Outside of the factory, American wage-earners are alert and intelligent enough. The trouble is that as factory employments have become more and more minutely subdivided, the tasks to be performed by each worker are no longer very interesting in themselves, and the consciousness of partnership with the employer in the common enterprise which might save the worker from degenerating into a human automaton is too often lacking. This unfortunate situation is not peculiar to American industry. British employers deplore the unresponsiveness of the British wage-earner as bitterly, and apparently with as good reason, as do American employers that of the American wage-earner. Happily all British employers are not mere fault-finders. The great merit of the chapters that follow is that they deal with this central problem of modern industry, the indifference of the worker, not negatively but constructively.

Book Synopsis The Six-Hour Shift and Industrial Efficiency by : Lord Leverhulme
Download or read book The Six-Hour Shift and Industrial Efficiency written by Lord Leverhulme and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-02 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE "six-hour day," or "six-hour shift," is an expression that has caused employers many sleepless nights. It is rather startling, perhaps, to come upon those three little words, especially at a time when strikes are called for the purpose merely of reducing a nine- or even a ten-hour day to an eight-hour day. What is the six-hour shift plan? A Utopian dream, a plank in the Socialist platform? An attempt to restrict production? By no means. It is the result of years of experiment by one of the ablest business men of Great Britain. William Lever, one of the outstanding figures in the English manufacturing and political world, is no dreamer of abstract, far-distant ideal communities; his object is to increase the efficiency of English labor for the purpose of competing with American trade. The six-hour shift plan, taken together with the corollary co-partnership plan, is the ...basis of William Lever's campaign. In "The Six-Hour Shift and Industrial Efficiency" he has collected the more important of his public utterances bearing upon his dual plan, and on these he bases his plea for the establishment of a common-sense readjustment of the claims of capital and labor. William Lever is, of course, something more than a business man: he is a psychologist. "So long," he declares, "as the workman's life is passed in monotonous toil in factory and workshop from daybreak to sunset, no wages, however high, can make up for this separation from all that is highest and best in life; the workman is not content to be exhausted in the task of providing food, shelter, and clothing for himself, wife, and children, with practically no leisure for other pursuits." It is obvious that the highest efficiency cannot be expected from the laborer who has not time for anything but efficiency. But why six hours? The Englishman does not enter into a long disquisition regarding the exact number of hours that ought to be spent at the machine or in the counting house; he speaks out of his own experience. He says: "But we have learned much during the last three years on the subject of fatigue, overwork, and excessively long working hours. We have proved conclusively that prolonged hours of toil... produce, after a certain point, actually smaller results in quantity, quality, and value than can be produced in fewer hours when there is an entire absence of overstrain or fatigue." Consequently, "We must have a six-hour working day for men and women, and by means of six-hour shifts for men and women we must work our machinery twelve, eighteen, or twenty-four hours per day." Work the machines, then, twenty-four hours a day, but work the machinists no more than a quarter of a day. Long hours for human beings mean decreased, not increased, efficiency. "We must remember the deadening effect of general factory life.... -"The Literary Digest," Vol. 66, Pt. 2 [1920]

Book Synopsis Productivity in Natural Resource Industries by : R. David Simpson
Download or read book Productivity in Natural Resource Industries written by R. David Simpson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several senior natural resource analysts study the role played by innovation, particularly technological innovation, in the pursuit of heightened productivity. Increasing the output of a given input improves a firm‘s bottom line, makes it more competitive internationally, and reduces the potential for resource depletion and shortages. Thus, high productivity is a necessary ingredient of economic prosperity. This book illustrates the importance of technological innovation in achieving an acceptable level of output and efficiency. In this important new offering, a team of resource scholars describes and chronicles the development of recent innovations in selected natural resource industries. The authors also reveal the causes, sources, and net effect of such innovation on productivity. In all of these sectors productivity has increased considerably since the early 1980s, although the level of improvement varies across industries. To what degree did technological innovation contribute to that increase? Individual detailed case studies detail important innovations in America‘s coal, petroleum, copper, and forest industries. The primary focus is on extraction and production technologies, although the existence and importance of innovation in other areas such as management technique also enter the picture. For example, the combination of new technology with restructuring seems to have breathed new life into a floundering U.S. copper industry. The authors describe the origin and diffusion of important innovation, and the concluding chapter quantifies the net effect of such innovation on productivity.

Download or read book The Fourth Industrial Revolution written by Klaus Schwab and published by Currency. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolution, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wearable sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manufacturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individuals. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frameworks that advance progress.
