"Specialized scheduling of work
to be done, not a daily schedule
merely, but minute directions as
to each process- and its prece-
dent steps. Pre-working plans vary in
different houses whether the work is
done by hired help or by the house-
wife to reduce the necessary mo-
motions involved in each piece of
work and to state, in detail the
steps in each duty."
