On the other hand, there are several advantages in intermittent product
ion s:
1. There is a flexibility at the volume of consumption. The
sponsor usually understands the problem and often adjusts to
the realities;
2* The capital investment is relatively low, which means that
the manager’s skill in Economics need not be of very high
order, although because of the variety of job6, more technically
educated management is required;
3. The variety of jobs forces removal of stagnation of skills, and
the workers are generally prepared for different jobs or change
of jobs at very short notice.
These offer challenges to use modem technology of management for
balancing and optimizing of the jobs in view of efficiency.
The majority of organizations (both private and public) involved in photo -
grammetry may be considered "small”, i. e. with 250 or less number of
employees. In these, the talented managers can usually command con
siderable benefits and job satisfactions.
Conclusion
Finally, some recommendations for scientific approaches in photogram-
metric managements can be presented here (after Taylor, 1910):
1. The manager should use the scientific rather than the rule-of-
thumb approach. This will give him a consistent and reliable
approach and will prove to be the best in the long run;
2. Harmonious work and production is obtained by assigning
appropriate man-instrument-technique combination to each
set of operation;
3. The manager should be encouraged to choose the best means
of economic production with quality;
4. Worker specialization needs to be obtained with the aim of
increasing efficiency in production; and
5. The manager must strive for and encourage others towards
enterprise and even individual prosperity.
The photogrammetric manager must be aware of his responsibilities to
the public in the framework of science and technology. The cost-effective
ness aspect is foremost in this. There is an air of optimism, however,-
most of the managers seem to be progressive and have proved to be on
the right track.
