In this plant every kind of materials required by twenty-one employees is assembled in ample
quantities in the fewest possible number of pieces, with plenty of working space and clear aisles. There
are no obstructions to continuous production.
As lost motions slow up production in machinery, so unnecessary steps caused by ill-placed mate-
rials, unscientifically designed equipments and obstructed aisles slow up composing room output.
