Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

FURTHER1NG their scheme for the mechanization of their Farington foundry, Leyland Motors Ltd., have recently installed all-mechanical handling plant in the pig-iron stockyard .for charging the furnaces. It has been shown that the installation reduces a six-man-hour loading job to less than one man-hour. Substantial economies are effected by a plant which makes cast-iron briquettes from material resulting from turning and boring operations. Briquettes weighing 2i lb. are formed at the rate of 540 an hour,

The cost of the plant as a whole is estimated at £40,000, which could be related to increased productivity and to control of quality and safety.
