Cohesion

I was reading the concept of Cohesion in Java and remembered of an incidence which was described in Five Point Someone.

It is a discussion between Ryan and Hari when Hari was impressed of Cherian.
Cherian gives an example of Shirt Factory, where he divides the task of manufacturing a shirt into 3 activities – cutting the cloth, stitching the shirt and sewing the buttons. And he explains how it’d we profitable to an industry if the complete task of manufacturing shirt is divided this way and given to 3 persons. He explains how it’d save time with the parallelism and also it’d need less equipments like for 3 persons, only one scissor will be needed as only one person will do cutting and blah blah blah. Of course Hari gets impressed but when he tells this to Ryan, Ryan feels disgust about reducing tailors into cloth cutters and button sewer.

How true! Business increases efficiency, productivity – but of what? Of its own. And that is how an engineer/artist becomes a worker. :)
