Abstract:
1. Introduction
This project was carried out for the Texas Instrument Company of
Bedford/ by members of the Ergonomics/ Operational Research and Management
sections at Cranfield. Texas Instruments wanted to increase production
of doUble alloy transistors by 25%. The increase could not be achieved
by hiring extra operators because the amount of floor space was limited.
The problem facing the group therefore was one of expanding output by
increasing the efficiency and productivity of the existing operators ... [cont.].
