I think I agree with your contribution. Not everything can be
measured in immediate economic contribution.
In roughly 1982 I began teaching, as a consultant, a course call Work
Simplification (among other subjects) that was originally developed by Lilian
Gilbreath, etal. My company was very happy with my production but really at
that time my main interests were partying, chasing ladies, and developing a
method of measuring productivity in manufacturing firms both firm wide all
the way down to single operations. I wanted to be able to go into a factory
and put the numbers together to find where savings were available.
Samantha, my point is that like with your minimum bag of goodies my
main interests at that time had no economic justification in the short run.
I have never used it in any important way on the job. I have used the model
enough to know I have something. So, when I finish the book I am working on
I intend to write up my model of productivity measurement.
