Being More Efficient - Division of Labour
Have not written a post for quite a while now. Have been distracted by lots of work and my new kindle (have finished several books already in a span of a few weeks). Anyway, back to our topic of the day. The Division of Labour. This is quite a well known phenomenon, most of us can imagine factories having products going along a conveyor belt whilst different parts are introduced at each stage to make up the final product. Initially mainly used to produce cars, this is now widely seen in most factories. Manufacturing good in this way is more efficient than making each product individually before moving on to the next one. And not just in factories. At home, if we cook dinner together with friends, housemates or families, usually the person that cook best does the cooking, whilst others take on individual tasks - be it peeling potatoes or washing up the dishes afterwards. As common experience can tell us, this is far quicker than if we were all trying to make the same dish.
