SPECIALIZATION 



is the keynote of 



Greater Progress 



It remained for the FOREST PRODUCTS ENGINEERING CO. to 

 establish speciaHzation in wood-working in the 



Industrial Engineering Profession 



By its very name this organization has eUminated the possibilities of accepting work 

 in any other than 



The Wood Using Industries 



With no division of effort, with Principals and Associates alike, devoted single- 

 mindedly to the development of but one major Industry, notev/orthy results were 

 inevitable. 



Industrial Engineering has in general contributed in many remarkable ways to the 

 progress of industries. Wage incentive plans, improved methods of operation per- 

 formance and labor saving devices have greatly benefited both the employee and 

 employer. But progress points with certainty to our well recognized plan of 



Basic Time Standards 



the exceptional merits of which are gladly at- 

 tested to by our past and present clients. 

 This plan differs from other good plans in the 

 approximate relation of the modern motor car 

 to the horse-drawn vehicle. 

 It establishes definite performance standards — 

 standards that accurately measure and indi- 

 cate the quality and quantity of work that 

 should be delivered at each individual manu- 

 facturing operation. Once installed in a plant, 

 our standards are so comprehensive that they 

 eliminate further time study regardless of 



changes in design. One of the most note- 

 worthy features of the plan is that it gives 

 the executive this important information be- 

 fore a cutting, whether for one piece or a thou- 

 sand, is started in the mill. 



The development of this plan obviously re- 

 quired a thoro practical engineering knowledge 

 of all wood-working operations from the yard 

 to the shipping room — a knowledge which 

 could never have been acquired to the neces- 

 sary degree without our policy of strict spe- 

 cialization.
