My Take Home

welcome me back

found this among my grand dads..."papers"


its dated 

june 1941 

notes for  speech 

to

 north american  aircraft executives  

i don't no if he delivered it even..

-----------------

a passage i liked 

------------

"gents 

maybe rough and bumpy 

with stops and strife and scuffles

so long as its 

all in good fun

and

 we both

 got a set of 

boundary rules 

maybe 

that 

leads to 

better long run 

output results 

maybe letting me 

and my staff....

rile up yer job crews here 

with a sense 

of 

"MORE MORE MORE " 

 i a good thing all round

maybe it 

will force these lines  of your's

 to move faster

then if you 

just get to run this place like a roman galley 

full of slave rowers

fantasy ideas about

runnin

the lot of em into the ground 

and replacing em as they drop

with fresh hands...

is that sensible???

is it profit max ???

....maybe 

u need a challenge too a forced crisis 

to get your attention

on increasing

 out put here 

by improvements in methods and design

and machines and organization

maybe when

we  come inside here

and raise holy hell...

raise wagesraise expectations

we force you to raise the bar too 

and when all's said and done

we're both better off "

----------

 finis 

---------------

running smooth 

is not the jap production management way

that i know

they push 

the line faster

till it brakes

wanting to find a weak point 

but thats a technical thing

i'm talking

also 

lets 

push the payroll stream  here

push it till it brakes 

force up wages

make the wonks rewire the gimmick so it pays off 

anyway



the golden rule:



no matter where 

we take wage rates

we let em

take back the money in cut time



down side

the mates get shed and jobs get   shred 

so its only a moving part 

that works

if we got all 

a lot of  other parts workin 

right too 



like a total employment policy at the gubmint level
