Despite the obvious compromises to efficiency that must be made when producing small quantities, the shipbuilding industry sometimes rules out or fails to consider some of the efficient techniques and methodologies of mass production manufacturing. In this paper a comparison and contrast is made between the methods of mass production and small quantity manufacturing. Also revealed in this paper are the benefits from the use of a mass production process engineering technique and a methods analysis technique during the performance of the National Shipbuilding Research Program SP-8 Panel Task ES-8-21. The use of a mass production process engineering technique is explained as a solution to a methods problem of excessive travel for tools in shipyard equipment installation by outside machinists. The paper concludes with a promotion of this specific application of mass production methodology in shipbuilding and a promotion of the re-evaluation of mass production techniques by shipyards as a vehicle for productivity improvement.

 The purpose of this study is to determine the potential of parasitoids through mass production and management of farm institutions to improve the welfare of farmers. The results showed the total number of parasitoids found 385 of the four locations. The found parasitoids consist of Trichogramma spp and Telenomus spp. Parasitoid populations were found to potentially parasitize stemborer eggs as a control effort. The highest level of parasitation lies in Mumbulsari sub-district at 65%. The highest abundance lies in Mumbulsari sub-district with 10.7 heads. This indicates the abundance of parasitoids at these locations is abundant. The success of mass production techniques also requires the management of peasant institutions.

Art libraries, guided in part by unquestioned assumptions and market forces, tend to buy the same books while neglecting ‘ephemeral’ primary material which can often be acquired cheaply, which will be vital data for future historians, and which is likely to inspire artists then as it does now. Collections of ephemera invariably attract donations, research, and recognition. Reliance on books to document this material means accepting a selective and perhaps misleading view, at second hand, after a lapse of time. Reassessment of the significance of the images and artefacts thrown-up by our culture by means of printing and other mass-production techniques, might lead to the cooperative, rationalised acquisition, by art libraries, of both books and ephemera, and to the exploitation of the latter by inter-library lending of original material or of slides.

Today, markets increasingly require more customized products, with shorter life cycles. In response, manufacturing systems have evolved from mass production techniques to the ?exible automation. This paper argues that manufacturing systems of the next generation will have to incorporate more ?exibility and intelligence, evolving towards recon?gurable manufacturing systems. In particular, the concept of intelligence becomes more relevant because of the need to maintain e?ective and e?cient manufacturing operations with minimum downtime under conditions of uncertainty. This chapter presents some research issues related to the development of reconfigurable manufacturing systems with pervasive computing.

This paper reviews decisions of the Conciliation and Arbitration Court in the 'metal industry' during the 1920s. The focus is on the nature of intervention by the court on three workplace issues: occupational structure, piecework, and shopfloor union organization. It is argued that the court's intervention must be analyzed in the context of the structural change that was occurring in the economy during the period under review, that is, the transition from craft to mass production. To fully understand the nature of the court's intervention it is necessary to be sensitive to the structure of the industry with which the court was dealing. The 'metal industry' covers a broad group of industries, some of which are engaged in craft production, and others where mass production techniques are appropriate. During the 1920s the court was primarily concerned with changing conditions in the manufacturing sector, not the craft sector. This involved facilitating fundamental changes to the occupational structure, as well as advocating payment-by-results schemes and shopfloor union organization.

Diesel Production

Abstract Beginning in the 1930s, North American railroads began replacing their steam locomotives with diesels at an ever-accelerating rate. Established steam locomotive producers, most notably the American Locomotive Company and the Baldwin Locomotive Works, proved incapable of dealing with this radical technological discontinuity. As successful steam locomotive manufacturers, these firms developed a corporate managerial culture that was not only linked closely to steam locomotive technology; it also embodied the fundamentals of small-batch custom manufacturing. More successful competitors, such as Electro-Motive (later a division of General Motors), developed a corporate culture amenable to both diesel locomotive technology and the standardized near-mass-production techniques that made diesel production efficient and profitable. Electro-Motive executives understood that railroad customers increasingly valued performance characteristics (flexibility, lower operating costs) best fulfilled by diesels, while steam locomotive producers continued to concentrate on the outdated characteristics (horsepower, low initial cost) of steam locomotive technology.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has led to an international shortage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), with traditional supply chains unable to cope with the significant demand leading to critical shortfalls. A number of open and crowd sourced initiatives have sought to address this shortfall by producing equipment such as protective face shields using additive manufacturing techniques such as Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). This paper reports the process of designing and manufacturing protective face shields using Large-scale Additive Manufacturing (LSAM) to produce the major thermoplastic components of the face shield. LSAM offers significant advantages over other Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies in bridge manufacturing scenarios as a true transition between prototypes and mass production techniques such as injection moulding. In the context of production of COVID-19 face shields, the ability to produce the optimised components in under five minutes compared to what would typically take one to two hours using another AM technologies meant that significant production volume could be achieved rapidly with minimal staffing.

Based on transcripts provided by 145 engineers working in various information technology organisations in Bangalore, India, the article examines the commoditisation of labour in this sector. In doing so, we specifically want to problematise algorithm-based decision-making embedded in the wider technology of Integrated Development Environments like Enterprise Resource Planning and its ramifications for business and labour processes. Standardisation and modularisation of tasks have made wide inroads in workers’ lives, resulting in a replication of Taylorist mass-production techniques. In unpeeling the “materiality” behind such a development, we elaborate on how efficiency and profit motives of these firms are turning engineers into numbers on a spreadsheet. We conclude by commenting on the implications of this on labour’s organisation and resistance and the future trajectory of working life.
