In December 2006, Bob Prescott, the controller for the Blue Ridge Mill, was considering the addition of a new on-site longwood woodyard.

This is a great question and demonstrates the human capacity for growth and discovery and ties in perfectly with the invention of the printing press in the 15th century. This invention had a direct relationship with how people looked to other sources for information. Without the printing press, many other discoveries would not have occurred. The printing press fostered and allowed the exchange of ideas and greatly helped scientists during this time. A useful way to look at the impact and how information was spread is to observe the time before the press was invented. After the printing press, there was an explosion of ideas and new discoveries. This is where many people began to look to other sources for the world around them. Nicolaus Copernicus

The printing press was one of the most important inventions in human history. It brought the world out of the dark ages, improved literacy, standardized languages, made maps infinitely more accurate and even improved the scientific community. Possibly the biggest impact that the printing press had during this time was its effect on religion. New translations of the bible were printed, the protestant reformation made possible, and several new religions would come about as a direct result of the invention of the printing press. The invention shook the foundation of knowledge, religion, and foundation, and it continues to do so to this day.

This raises the question, “What Was the Most Important Consequence of the Printing?” In this context, important is defined as having a far reaching and long lasting impact on society. The most important consequences of the Printing Press were its ability to encourage exploration, spread of literature, and

Mendel Paper Company has been doing relatively well with the sales of computer paper, napkins, place mats, and poster board. With more people eating out, the demand for napkins and place mats have increased. Computer paper and poster boards have slowly increased in demand as well. However, there is concern at the company with the fixed cost of operations. Marlene Herbert, the plant superintendent, said, “As we have automated our operation, we have experienced increases in fixed overhead and even variable overhead. And, we will have to add more equipment since it appears that we need even more plant capacity. We are operating over our normal capacity as it is.” (Case 2B). With the new production costs added in, will

The Scanlon Plan can be used as a major catalyst to turnaround the plant by emphasizing more on productivity. The more they work the faster they roll towards their bonuses; this magical spell is a win-win situation for both the employees and the management. The management can cruise steadily over the wave of bonus motivated productivity and the employees can reap the benefits from the high production rate in terms of bonuses. The plan can be redrawn and a slight change can be made by making the entire plan revolve around the concept of productivity. When productivity assumes a prime position in the plan, employees will strive hard
