Industrial Training and Testing BY HOWARD K. MORGAN, PREFACE During any modern war, industrial training speeds up. Apprentice training and other long-time training programs fall by the wayside. But what of the fast modern training It is a formula type of device, infinitely better than nothing, but not applicable to a more stable production with short profits. For this reason, it falls down when peace arrives. The following pages introduce a method of industrial training designed to be profitable in either war or peace. This material is not a review of all training methods but a plan, with specific recommendations. It includes missing pieces that are often lacking in training. In brief, it starts with the day a worker applies for a job and ends with the day that he leaves the plant. Not only is the worker tested, but the training plan is under continual test. In it are included methods of improving the worker yearly and of helping him to advance to successful supervision. The improvement in this plan exists in combining cer tain known elements in a systematic manner. Opinions are reduced to fact. These facts are reduced to matters of cost. This cost is balanced against the saving that results from training. Thus, training is controlled in the same way as any other production cost. The views expressed here do not reflect the views of a particular company. Grateful thanks are extended to those individuals with whom the author has worked in many industries, in the government and in the armed forces, who have contributed the successful ideas that serve as the blocks with which this plan was built.
