Report of a visit to the U.S.A. in 1949 of a Productivity Team representing the British Internal Combustion Engine Industry.
The range of the enquiry covered the following types of engines:
- Stationary industrial oil and petrol engines of all sizes
- Marine auxiliary oil and petrol engines of all sizes
- Rail traction oil and petrol engines of all sizes
- Marine propulsion oil and petrol engines up to 1,500 B.H.P.
NB - They do not include automotive or aero engines.
The Anglo-American Council on Productivity was formed in the autumn of 1948 on the initiative of Sir Stafford Cripps, the Chancellor of the Exchequer in Britain, and Mr. Paul Hoffman, the Economic Co-operation Administrator in the U.S.A.
It was composed of representatives of management and labour both in the United Kingdom and in the US. The purpose of the Council was to promote economic well-being by a free exchange of knowledge in the realm of industrial organisation, method and technique, and thereby to assist British industry to raise the level of its productivity following the end of the Second World War.
The principal means adopted to achieve this end was to send to America industrial Teams, the members of which were drawn in equal numbers from the supervisory, the technical, and the workshop levels. The business of the Teams was to study American production methods, to report their observations and findings and to make recommendations.
The project was originally part of the Marshall Plan and came to an end in 1952.
