The «Orno» Method for the Organisation of Workers

Abstract

The present method has been used by the Instituto Nacional de Industria in several works. It is applicable practically to all types of works provided that they are not too small. The aim is to organize the tasks of the workers on the sites. First the entire work is divided into pieces or sections and then these are subdivided into tasks that the various bodies have to carry out. For this purpose, a small technical team is needed, to carry out the division into sections and finally to inspect how this has been executed. In this manner it is possible to improve the execution quality, reduce the costs of the work, make it easier to accomplish the work within the set out time and to improve the workers' income. This method does not include the elaboration of the working plan, or the needs for workers; or the needs for machinery and materials or the quality control of these nor any aspect of the work that is not closely related to the aim. All these aspects are supposed to be established and regulated by other procedures.
