- TOYS AND JOB DESIGN AT THE HOVEY AND BEARD COMPANY The following is a situation that occurred in the Hovey and Beard Company, as reported by J. V. Clark. This company manufactured a line of wooden toys. One part of the process involved spray painting partially assembled toys, after which the toys were hung on moving hooks that carried them through a drying oven. The operation, staffed entirely by women, was plagued with absenteeism, high turnover, and low morale. Each woman at her paint booth would take a toy from the tray beside her, position it in a fixture, and spray on the color according to the required pattern. She then would release the toy and hang it on the conveyor hook. The rate at which the hooks moved had been calculated so that each woman, once fully trained, would be able to hang a painted toy on each hook before it passed beyond her reach. The women who worked in the paint room were on a group incentive plan that tied their earnings to the…arrow_forwardWeighted-Average Method Arsenio Company manufactures a single product that goes throughtwo processes, mixing and cooking.
