In the past things were not very specialized. And if there was
specialization it was not a lot. Today there is a high degree of
specialization that we encounter. And it is there for a good reason.
Thanks to specialization we can get better value for money and we
can get more done with less effort.
Take for example a specialized floor scale that is specifically
designed to weigh drums and barrels. Although a floor scale would
already have improved the efficiency of weighing heavy objects such
as drums a lot, the further specialization that a drum scale offers
increases it even more. And this increase is enough to justify the
investment in a drum scale because it pays for itself quickly
enough. Industrial operations are repetitive and often involve handling of
heavy containers. They therefore make it possible to study a process
in detail and come up with ways to make it more efficient. Take for
example the task of moving a drum on to the platform of a weighing
scale. Even a small modification in the profile of the ramp that is
provided could make things a little easier. And this would add up to
a lot of savings in the long run.
