THE PRINCIPLES OF SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT 153 CARE OF MACHINE TOOLS AND TRANSMISSION MACHINERY. In a day work shop where there is little or no incentivefor the men to turn out the maximum amount of work, thecondition of the machine tools will probably be poor. Manymen will let their machines go from bad to worse, with acontinually decreasing output, without reporting the fact, until. Fig. 14.

Much improvement can be accomplished by keeping themachine tools and appliances in good condition, and this isessential when scientific management is finally realized.

One of these important factors is thatthe machine tools and appliances must be in excellent condi-tion, and these conditions must be standard — that is, must be 154 C0ST KEEPING AND SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT maintained. In the great majority of shops the condition ofthe machine tools is far from excellent, and no provision ismade for standardizing conditions. A full investigation should be made of the condition of themachine tools and transmission machine
