Main Idea
When a boy, Sam was the “efficient expert” for the family. When a graduate, Sam was asked to work as a “consultant” in a shirt factory. Sam was greatly surprised by the degree of disorder. Sam put forward some suggestions for the improvement of production and was rewarded by the boss.
Judging from what is described in the text, the story must have taken place in the early 1950s. The US came out of WWII as a “winner”, with its capacity intact. Manufacturers got to realize that efficiency in operation is the key to profits and success. Small factories would occasionally hire a consultant on a short term basis to help them operate more efficiently.
