Abstract

Abstract Extended search reveals many papers on drawing-room detail, routines, printed forms used in drafting rooms, drafting-room “kinks,” etc., but almost nothing relating to the broader problems of management which the design supervisor and his superiors must face. The present paper is a discussion of design-management practices, and is an attempt to record such of these practices as concern the Hawthorne Machine-Design Division of the Western Electric Company, Inc. The author’s views are influenced largely by the past and present problems confronting him. Many of these, doubtless, are peculiar to the Western Electric Company.
