Labor factory

Often, the manufacturing processes involved for composite structures fabrication are greatly simplified as compared to those for metal structures. Reduced part count results in a much lower assembly cost and overall reduction in the factory labor hours.

This increase in productivity is accounted for partly by a decrease in absenteeism and accidents as well as a general increase in working efficiency. For example, Vernon (1918), found that when women in a munitions factory worked a 12-hour day they incurred 2.5 times more accidents than when they worked a 10-hour day. One of the more comprehensive studies of the effects of total hours of work was carried out after World War II by the U.S. Department of Labor (Kossoris and Kohler, 1947). This covered over 3500 men and women in 78 work units. Data were collected on accidents and absenteeism as well as productivity. The overall findings were that exceeding the 8-hour work day, 5 days/40 hours work week resulted in lower productivity and higher absenteeism and accident rates.

The first important technical development in the chocolate manufacturing process occurred when water-powered mills superseded the use of manual labor to grind cocoa beans. This led to the establishment of many chocolate factories from 1804 to 1840. Early production consisted entirely of a type of chocolate beverage that was somewhat indigestible since none of the cocoa butter was removed during processing. In 1828, the Dutch firm of Van Houten invented the cocoa press, which facilitated the production of cocoa powder by partial removal of the cocoa butter from beans.

The beginning was not easy," Mark explains, "but related experience in Vienna and the peerless support of Rogers and (Dean R. E.) Kirk made the Institute a quick success." The success was also in part brought about by the labors of a future "who s who" contingent of associates attracted by Mark. A few of the scientists who came to work in the converted razor blade factory which housed the Polytechnic laboratories are T. Alfrey, P. M. Doty, F. Eirich, I. Frankuchen, W. P. Hohenstein, H. Morawetz, C. G. Overberger, C. C. Price,... 

The big boost for reform came, in fact, with the Factory Acts in England. Three such acts were passed between 1833 and 1867, and they did much to improve working conditions and, in particular, initiated the training and use of Factory Inspectors to ensure that the provisions of the acts were implemented. These factory inspectors grew into the labor inspectors, safety officers, and occupational hygienists of today. 

The suggested bulk material factors are applied to direct equipment costs, whereas the bulk labor factors apply to the corresponding bulk material item. Because the distributive factors are based on larger scale field built plants, FETC applies an additional factory fabrication adjustment to reflect a more modular construction approach requiring less field fabrication as would likely be the case with smaller plant configurations. This approach is illustrated in reference (18). 

Man brings his labor power to the market, and he is alienated inasmuch as the factory owner extracts his surplus labor from him. This is what makes man a social being. And this is precisely what most scholarship on alchemy suppresses. Perhaps the dream of alchemy is not so much about infinite riches or spiritual renewal, but autonomy from the labor market. 

In 1849, the same year that Dostoevski was arrested and sentenced to a Siberian labor camp, disaster struck the family again. The glass factory caught fire one winter night and burned to the ground. But the 57-year-old Maria Mendeleev again showed her determination. She decided that she would take her son to Moscow in order to get him admitted to the university there. She was convinced that he had great potential. 

Recent trends have been towards an increase in factory-assembled over field-erected jobs because of the rising cost of field labor, which has far offset the higher transportation costs of shipping complete packages. In addition, manufacturers are better able to control the quality of fabrication.
