Fig. 27. Production Record of a Gang of Piece Workers
Piece rates are applied to many distinct classes of work, each of which necessitates a slightly different system of records. One of the industries in which piece rates are largely used, is the manufacture of garments of different classes. In this industry, each garment or lot of garments passes through several operations, each operation being performed by a different operator. Since practically all operations are on a piece-rate basis, it is necessary to obtain a record of the name or number of each operator.

A form for a record of operations in an underwear mill is shown in Fig. 25. This is in the form of a shipping tag with particulars of the order at the top, followed by a list of the operations. As fast as the goods are cut, they are tied in bundles of one dozen garments. The tag is then attached, the cutters' names or numbers are entered on the lines opposite their operations, and the bundle is delivered to a storeroom located conveniently to the machines.
