2. THE NOISY SHOP
Reference Material 69
In this case the instructor has no choice but to take his man
through all the steps necessary to get the job started,
explaining each move, of course. Such a Step I1 is much
too long for normal good instruction. There may be 40 or
50 important points in the operation. But in this case,
there is no choice.
After the j ob is going, however, there are several hours of
time available, which the instructor can use for Step 111.
Of course, he can't take the work out of the machine and have
the worker the job, as should be done in the normal per-
formance tryout, but he m check him thoroughly on each
operation step and key point verbally. The instructor can
have the man explain to him the operation and the key points
again and again with the result that the worker has every
minute detail of the operation clear in his mind.
When the next job is to be machined therewon'tbe many points
the worker doesn't know. All he will need is some practice
in physical handling.
Naturally Step IV will be used in the normal way.

done SO WELL that it carries the whole instructing job.
Again small units must be presented.
(2) Go to a quiet place.
- Before and after showing, the worker can be taken to a
less noisy place to discuss the operation and check his
knowledge.
