Covrad's shopfloor

Abstract

Eight engineering workers faced with short‐time working because of a shrinking order book, took to the road to see if they could do better than the company salesmen. They didn't sell a single product — but they did come back with some useful experience that serves to demolish a popular shopfloor myth. Report by Dave Grayston.
