Цепочка: конвейер против лишнего движения

Аргумент главы V: сборочная линия — это приложение борьбы с расточительством к сборке. Нести работу к человеку, свести движения к минимуму, проверять всё в малом.

1. Нести работу к людям, а не людей к работе — assembly-line

   The first step forward in assembly came when we began taking the work to the men instead of the men to the work.
   — My Life and Work, ch. V

2. Расставить инструмент и людей по ходу операции — assembly-line

   Place the tools and the men in the sequence of the operation so that each component part shall travel the least possible distance while in the process of finishing.
   — My Life and Work, ch. V

3. Свести движения рабочего к минимуму — waste-and-greed

   The net result of the application of these principles is the reduction of the necessity for thought on the part of the worker and the reduction of his movements to a minimum.
   — My Life and Work, ch. V

4. Сперва пробуем в малом, потом рвём прочь ради лучшего — learning-by-doing

   We try everything in a little way first--we will rip out anything once we discover a better way, but we have to know absolutely that the new way is going to be better than the old before we do anything drastic.
   — My Life and Work, ch. V

5. Итог: один делает то, что раньше четверо — machinery-as-liberator

   by the aid of scientific study one man is now able to do somewhat more than four did only a comparatively few years ago
