CHALMERS PLANS
FOR A BIG YEAR

"With one Of the largest msnuisctur-
ing plants in the country and manu-
featuring schedule Of 10000 cars ior
1917, il is hard 10 realize that the
Chalmers factory just nine years ago
consisted Of one building in thirty
acres of Michigan prairie" says ". L.
Agnew. director OF advertising for the
Chalmers Motor Company.
For the last eight years there mas
scarcely been a month when some new
addition to the Chalmers plant has not
been in the course OF construction,
continued Mr.. Agnew. During the hrst
fiscal year Of the company 5000 OF the
famous old four-cylinder Chalmers 3Os
were turned out. At the present time
the thirty acres Of land on which tne
factory was located are covered WIN
twenty-five factory buildings, manned
bv $500 workers. Many departments
are working on a full tyenty-four-hour
schedule. Within the last year a huge
main building has brought the totaI
area of floor space up to $4,000 square,
feet. Recent purchases OF addltiohsl
property and proposed new buildings
will again increase the magnitude OF

COMMITTEE RULES
GOODRICH PLANT
BY b. G.. WORK,
Prcsident Il. r. Goodrich Go.


During the last two years We have
many times been impressed with the
necessity for evolving some plan by
which our Akron factories, with their
army Of workmen, might be readjusted
to meet plan OF management which
would relieve myself and the board OF
directors from n constantly growing
mass OF detail work. With more than
fifty departments, each making a num-
Der Of different rubber products, it was
imperative that our plan must embrace
the major portion OF those, il it were
to be a success.
During the last year, when our bust
ness was increasing at faster rate
than ever before, we were obliged TO
face the problem seriously and finally
While we regarded the operating cont
mittee plan as an unusual departure,
the more we considered 1t the more
practical Of all solutions ii seemed.
Certainly an entire group Of factory
executives could more intelligentiy
handle the many details pertaining TO
their respective departments If they
each had the advice or counsel Of the
other men equally responsible. And
surely these men had qualified, by rea-
son of the successful direction Of their
own units, to apply their well-trained
ability and their knowledge along we'll
defined lines already established. Our
new plan has been working slightly
more than two months now, and the
results that have accrued leave no
doubt in my mind that We have solved
an important problem for ourselves.
Our operating committee was chosen
as follows: NJ. +. Joy, director Of costs
of goods and factory costs; W. y.
Rutherford. director of sales; II. h.
RAYMOND. director Of production; A. b.
Jones, director Of plant administra-
ton; DR.. w. c. Geer, director OF deyel-
opment OF goods and processes; George
Oenslager, director of chemical labora-
tories; W. A. Means, treasurer; A. 7.
Lehman, engineer; II. c. Miller, man
aeer of tire sales, and ". n. fule,
manager of sales Of general mechanical
rubber goods.
This gave representation to every
important unit Of our factories. and at
frequent meetings Of this committee,
where vital questions present them,
selves. they are discussed freely by all
Numbers. so that the final decision IS
the logical one. In this matter, not
only the safe conduct of our business
is well guarded. but the effects of the
plan are felt all through the factories
in added efficiency to each department.
What makes our plan appear all the
more practical is the fact that no BUSH
ness institution can ever outgrow 1t.
