Fatigue study : $b the elimination of humanity's greatest unnecessary waste. A first step in motion study
Gilbreth, Lillian Moller
Fatigue; Industrial efficiency; Motion study
The workers of the country have long recognized the need for fatigue
elimination; the employers are coming to a realization that they are
paying a large price for fatigue. Many employers have resolved that, so
far as their plants are concerned, needless fatigue must be eliminated.
They have resolved that the day is coming when every worker shall go
home from work happy in what he has done, with the least amount of
unnecessary fatigue, and prepared to go back in perfect condition on
the morrow. How soon this much desired time will arrive depends upon
the co-operation of the public, upon the public sentiment that can be
aroused.
There is no reader of this book who does not belong to at least two
groups that should be interested in fatigue elimination. Decide at
once, then, in which group you belong, and set to work. Be you teacher,
manager, worker, or simply a member of the great public to which we all
belong, begin to work for fatigue elimination, and begin now.
The good in your life consists of the quantity of “Happiness Minutes”
that you have created or caused. Increase your own record by
eliminating unnecessary fatigue of the workers.
