Bill Carson is one of several veterans in the Painting Department .Bill is informed by Douglas that he will be used in the time study for the beginning of a new product . The findings will be the basis for establishing the labor time standard of the next 6 months.During the test, Bill deliberately slows his normal work pace in an effort to obtain a labor time standard that will be easy to meet.
