Suitable stock is then provided them direct by the material man. Supervision and Routing of Work. The making of invoices; requisitions on the storekeeper for material, shop orders on the other shops, and other clerical work required in the shop in a large plant such as a navy yard, is per- formed by the foreman's clerk, a civil service employe, at $2.80 per diem, thus relieving the foreman, a $6.60 man, of all but his proper supervisory work, which is to plan and co-ordinate the work of his three departments,. and closely supervise his mechanics. To plan his work, he is furnished with a "route board'--see Fig. 2--which is practically a moving picture of the shop--a picture of its present and future, as well. The two drawers, one on either side, are to file his job orders; those on which, for any reason, the shop is not working, in the "inactive" file, and those which are being worked on in the "active" file. The board above the shelf is fitted with a number of pairs of hooks, one pair for each man, and over the man's hooks is a name plate giving the name and check number of the man. The mechanics occupy the left hand side of the board; then the mill man--and_ his helpers if business is good enough to warrant permanent assignment to his de- partment; then the helpers; and last, the apprentices. When a job order is received in the 243 office, the clerk receipts for it, attaches to it any memoranda which may have been previously received bearing on it, and puts it in the foreman's_ basket. If it is urgent, he takes it right out to the foreman, otherwise it awaits the latter's convenience. If, for any reason, it is not to be taken up at once, the foreman, after noting it, places it in the inactive file. If to be taken up at once, however, he prepares "instruction cards" and "standing orders,' Figs. 3 and 4, respectively, for it at once. These standing orders are in use in the other shops and are used in the boat shop without ,modification in form. The card to the material man is, in the case of a building job, accompanied by a lumber bill; "in the case of a repair job the card states in detail the work to be done, so that he can go to the boat and get his measurements. The card to the mill man serves merely to give him the job order number to which to charge his time; more than that is un- necessary. The card to the mechanic in the erecting department gives explicit, detailed instructions as to the work to ° be done, and these are not departed from save on written instructions. For each instruction card a standing order is written, giving the job order number, a word or two to indicate the character of the work, and the workman's check number. If-it is a rush job, the cards are put out at once. Ordinarily, however, the job is routed according to the state of M'F'G DEPT. 106 MINOR MATERIAL BOL Job Order Now A 577 fe a cal iting py. ens a6 LEADINGMAN Fic. 7--MiNor MATERIAL SLIP. work as indicated by the route board. The idea is to keep two jobs ahead for every man. Thus with a full shop there will be three standing orders on each mechanic's hook, the top one show- ing the job he is on, the next showing the job ahead, the third his second job ahead. If, however, the board shows a
