Main objectives: The problems which face a Board of Directors when wishing to advance the technological means are great. It is vital to take an overall company point of view: (1) sales, (2) production, (3) finance, and the combination of all three, (4) growth policy.2. Operational research: It is vital that a company should have an operational research policy and team. Their own team can be aided valuably by outside specialists and consultants who can bring to bear a very wide range of experience from quite different industries. Objective facts then discovered must be assessed against their economic implications. They must be carefully weighed bearing all the above four points in mind.3. Choice of correct approach: Having obtained sufficient facts, management must have sufficient courage to act quickly and adopt a short as well as a long term development and re-equipment policy. One must be conscious that facts of today are not necessarily true of a remote tomorrow and thus the choice of approach should always favour the method and plant having maximum flexibility. Also, the operational research team must continue to function and keep gathering facts, its policy being steered by the results of market research and overall concepts of the Board.4. Serviceability and maintaining the plant: Having chosen as my case study automatic bakeries, these illustrate some most valuable lessons. For instance, one should choose equipment which is easy to service; interchangeable tropicalised control and motor units should be adopted, requiring minimum attention. Encapsulated plugin units which remove the need for scientific trouble-shooting should be preferred. Means of selfmaintenance, e.g. self-lubricating bearings, temperature-compensated equipment, self-cleaning by compressed air blasts, etc., are the kind of facilities that must be planned into automated plants. They should be located in very easily ‘get-at-able’ places on the plant. The main factor which must be kept in mind is that there must be three shifts working with minimum shut-down time to obtain the full benefits of automation.","PeriodicalId":277764,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Institution of Production Engineers","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1957-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129237506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even before the Constitution was adopted, the Ordinance of 1785 set aside a section in every township in the new territories west of Pennsylvania to support a school. In 1862 the first Morrill Act authorized Federal land grants to States for the establishment of colleges. As World War II came to an end, a grateful Nation offered the G.I. bill, which eventually served nearly 8 million returning veterans—and fundamentally changed the educational landscape of the country. Today, Federal educational loans and grants open the doors to college for millions of students who could not otherwise attend, and Federal grants to low-income schools help more than 6 million children learn to read and to do math. Learning is a lifelong process, not limited to those between the ages of 5 and 25. From early childhood education to college to training for the unemployed, this Administration has sought to complement the efforts of State and local governments in responding to the new demands of the labor market. The Nation is in the midst of an educational renewal, and families, teachers, local school districts, colleges, States, employers, and the Federal Government all have a role to play in the transformation. The renewed Federal interest in education and training is in part a response to the two challenges outlined in Chapter 1: the slowdown in the growth of productivity and the increase in earnings inequality. Education and training policy is one of the few policy levers available to address both problems simultaneously. One of the most dramatic changes in our economy during the past 15 years has been the increased economic payoff to skills, as reflected in the increased inequality in earnings between high school and college graduates. In 1979 full-time male workers aged 25 and over with at least a bachelor’s degree earned on average 49 percent more per year than did comparable workers with only a high school degree. By 1993 the difference in wages had nearly doubled, to 89 percent. To the extent that this rise in the payoff to education reflects an increase in the value of skill, improving our schools and expanding access to postsecondary training stimulate economic growth. Based on estimates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the rise in the average educational attainment of the","PeriodicalId":277764,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Institution of Production Engineers","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1956-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121019618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
