| Abstract: | It is described how Norfrost in the north of Scotland prospers in the fiercely competitive white-goods industry by high volume manufacture of a single model. While Grant, A. was improving the product, and designing the assembly lines and special machines and transfer equipment, it was his wife who was getting the product out of the door. Former of freezer cabinets is highly automated. Productive efficiency, not variety, is the hallmark of the enterprise. While Grant, P. is the driving force of the business, her husband's ingenuity has also been critical to its progress. The single-product concept has already been diluted by the introduction of bottle coolers. |
