A number ofdifferent models of hotplates were being manufactured. Some had a vibrating device sothat the solution could be mixed while being heated. Others heated only test tubes. Stillothers could heat solutions in a variety of different containers. With the appropriate smalltools, each worker assembled part of a hotplate.

- Shipping and Receiving Background Information: Midge Watson had been working in the Bookkeeping Department of the Best Fits Sporting Goods Manufacturing Company for the four years since she graduated from high school. She was bright, attractive, and popular, and had done well in the company, as her recent promotion to senior Bookkeeper proved. One of her new job responsibilities required Midge to go to the warehouse once a week to check on and verify various inventory and shipment information. This meant that she often worked for three or four hours at a time in the Shipping Office. In order to reduce the noise from the operations around it, the office was completely walled in. On these trips to Shipping, Midge worked closely with the shipping clerk, Susan Adams. Susan, a veteran employee of ten years with Best Fit, was divorced. Susan maintained all the shipping and inventory information as it was processed.
