As soon as the studyman sets eyes on a worker he writes down whether work is being done or not. As soon as he has complete figures for all the operatives in A Wo a workplace he reckons to be work able to out total efficiency by comparing the percentage of 'working' opera- tives with the number of those Of 'not-working'. the n To get the complete figures work he makes a systematic tour of to e the work place-machine shop, plish building site, office, etc.-with well the aim of visiting each worker ards in turn. work Usually the observers find it stipu best to creep up the on Th workers concerned as if they ally 1 are seen first, they claim, a a gu true record may not be ob- exam tained. covel accid
