"If an auto factory let people come in and build autos whenever they felt like it and quit when they got tired or wanted to go do something else for a while paying them piece-work that would be market organization" whats wrong with this scene .... =================== yes it wouldbe different his point in context large scale industrial production outfits need hierarchies cause their only piece rate is at the collective level their individual output can't be unit counted quality rated and paid accordingly like a team of apple orchard pickers "might" get paid and of course timing pressures might cause there to be some in out rules and errr theft checked at the gate and wreckage to limbs and such blast off techniqiues as tree shakes band so now a need for supers begins to emerge commercial production of a composite product has its piecable limitations --------------------------------- piece rating like share croppin has no "need" for visible whips cause there is no reward for slacking only the lose of opportunity but hell "what remains unbuilt remains also unmissed "what potential may lying dormant in the lap of society " fortunately the beneficiary of exploited production soon tires of any "natural" pace lets squeeze em ------------------------------------------ the cents per apple rate goes down picking service income now requires more speed to make enough average picks per hour rise as piece rates fall win win maybe the notional hourly wage rate holds steady they speed up enough to keep it level by raising total units per hour per picker and now value (apples) " picked and gathered " per hour is up nice but what if like cars one operation falls another a line can not be pieced unless there are tasks holding bins etc etc no line slows output even with piece rates for each operation partly made cars can't go in bins at each stage mybe if you had two levels with stages transitioning to the next by an up elevation or a down each spot with a start burst of shunts each to the next availible operative .... if piece work were used to the max would whips go to a min how did procuction get so un natural why is it almost all time waged now ????????? love of foremen gettin wet cause ya can bring on the whips .... ------------------------- then there's another problem "the market maker " right outside the orchard's exit gate can he fuck with piece rates too by telling the orchardeer the buy rate per apple is.... "take it or leave it mr smallville ... who the fuck else comes to these parts with an apple cart and cash " to be discontinuedPosted by pinky at September 22, 2005 07:35 AM
