Scene 141: The Great Change in the Production of 'Monopoly'

The dark machine began to tremble.

Forman stood in the power workshop, urging his two apprentices to shovel coal into the boiler rhythmically.

A steam engine is a type of external combustion engine. No matter how complex the structure is, it is essentially boiling water and using the power of steam to do work.

As the water temperature increases, the jitter of the steam engine gradually decreases.

The shaking sound also became much more pleasant.

"Please come with me." Freeman politely said to Rose and the women behind her.

Walk out of the power workshop and return to the large workshop.

A very long mechanical part came from the power workshop, and next to it, there was a very long support rod.

Freeman pushed the support rod hard and the dislocated gears to bite together, and the metal parts in the large workshop began to move.

The passages riveted by pieces of metal began to move as if they had life.

From the source here, it extends to the other side of the building.

At the end of the workshop, I turned back and finally returned here, forming a closed loop.

"This? Is this?" Ross asked in shock. Her shocked tone had even overshadowed the noise from the power workshop.

Freeman looked at his long-lasting baby and finally showed it to others, with a smug smile on his face.

He said, "Boss Doug said that this is called assembly line. He said that with assembly line, workers don't have to move anymore, as long as the assembly line is moving. Starting from here and ending there, the finished product is made.

Its advantages are not only like this, but also like this…”

I saw Freeman, this time I moved a support rod hanging on the wall.

Hanging above the assembly line, the ugly and unpresented machinery began to operate.

These machines look a little abrupt, and they don't want to be as continuous as production lines.

However, when Ross looked at them seriously, he understood that their role was, but he was even more shocked.

Freeman did not explain it in words this time, but instead explained it in practical actions.

He spread a piece of cloth as big as the Monopoly canvas on a metal tray, and then fixed the canvas on the tray.

Then, he gently buckled the pallet and hung it on the hook of the scale-shaped production line.

The whole tray begins to move forward.

Freeman walked forward with the pallet and said as he walked, "There are many shortcomings in this system at present. For example, this machine has not been linked to the production line. Every time it is turned on, it must be set up separately.

so……"

Freeman pulled down a smaller support as the canvas tray was approaching.

At this time, a metal plate on the machine pressed down.

When it reaches the bottom, the canvas is right at the bottom.

Freeman breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was right.

In the blink of an eye, the metal plate was lifted up.

Ross clearly saw that the canvas on the tray had a monochrome pattern.

Freeman started moving again, and he walked faster than the speed of the assembly line.

When he came to the next same machine, he found the right time and pulled the small support rod again.

Let steam flow in from the unobstructed pipes and start driving the machine.

The second time I pressed it!

This time, another color was added to the canvas.

Next, it's the third time!

Pressed again!

All the patterns and texts of the Monopoly canvas are drawn from the colors of three synthetic dyes.

Freeman took off the tray and walked to Rose with pride display, "This is what Boss Doug has kept me busy these months."

Ross and several female workers did not respond, they were already shocked by the scene in front of them.

They surrounded the tray and looked at the canvas in the tray.

Judging from the picky eyes of female workers, the pattern above is not the best product, and has subtle flaws.

But no matter what, the handwriting on it is clear and suddenly it is very clear.

It took only two or three minutes to walk on the production line, but it achieved an effect that took twenty or thirty minutes for the female workers to draw.

This...this is too terrible...

If the production line becomes this assembly line, I am afraid that the daily output will not increase by ten times?

Ross thought so.

The female workers thought differently. They looked at the assembly line that was still running and the production line with such high efficiency.

They suddenly worried that they would not need so many female workers. Some of them were going to lose their jobs.

Freeman didn't understand their respective butts and thoughts.

He said, "Boss Doug asked you to give me advice, you can now."

Only then did Ross remember his purpose and forced his eyes to pull out from the tray.

He asked the female worker, "Why do you think this assembly line is comfortable to work?"

"Master...the supervisor...what machines are there, what else do we need to do?" A female worker said, pointing to the three machines that were in different parts of the assembly line but pressing down at the same rhythm.

When Ross heard this question, his mind began to work quickly.

“With this machine, you don’t have to draw a complete canvas by yourself.

However, there are still many tasks that we need to do.

For example, the action of Freeman fixing the canvas on the tray just now requires someone to do it;

For example, if you hang the tray on those scales, someone will also need to do it.

Also, you can see these places on the canvas, and there are many flaws.

Therefore, although there is no need to draw the whole piece, many people still need to repair these defects manually.

besides!

Finally, there must be enough people to ensure the stability of quality.

Although machines are faster to produce, it seems that there is much less room for people to do.

However, there are still many things that we need to do manually.

However, what I said is certainly not complete.

Mr. Freeman, can we observe how the assembly line is produced? Only then can we determine what improvements are available?"

Ross said quickly and clearly.

Only then did she realize that the boss asked her to come here was not as simple as making a few suggestions for modification.

Instead, she asked her to design a brand new production process of "Monopoly".

However, although she was just comforting the female worker, she said that the jobs would not be reduced.

However, even if the jobs will not decrease, where can "Monopoly", which has increased output tenfold, be sold?

If you can't sell it, your inventory is backlogged, and you won't have to reduce your jobs in the end.

However, she could think about these words but couldn't say them.

Everything she said must be in a positive direction.
