• A MAJOR POTENTIOMETER MANUFACTURER IS CONSIDERING TWO ALTERNATIVES FOR NEW PRODUCTION MACHINES WITH CAPACITY TO PRODUCE 20 000 UNITS PER DAY. ONE ALTERNATIVE IS FOR A HIGH-CAPACITY AUTOMATED PRODUCTION MACHINE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING 20 000 UNITS PER DAY WHEN OPERATED FOR THREE SHIFTS PER DAY. A QUARTER-TIME EMPLOYEE WOULD BE ASSIGNED TO MONITOR THE MACHINE (EMPLOYEE WOULD MONITOR OTHER MACHINES AT THE SAME TIME). WITH THE THREE-SHIFT SCHEDULE THIS WOULD BE EQUIVALENT TO A THREE-QUARTER-TIME EMPLOYEE.
