10. ESTABLISHING WORK CENTERS. Work Centers are normally composed of
personnel engaged in the same type of work. These personnel are considered an
organizational unit for personnel availability determinations, and for
scheduling and work performance evaluations. Because Work Centers are
considered reference points for work performance evaluation, it is desirable
that a work center be established for personnel engaged in the same type of
work. It must be recognized, however, that administrative support costs
increase directly in relation to the number of Work Centers used. For this
reason, it is not desirable to divide commonly combined trades into individual
Work Centers, unless this will result in the assignment of five or more
personnel in each Work Center. For example, the carpentry supervisor
frequently controls carpenters, joiners, and roofers. Division of this group
into three Work Centers is not justified unless there will be at least five
craftsmen in each Work Center. In general, formal work centers should not be
established below the foreman level and each shop employee should be assigned
to a work center.
