A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Born in Warsaw, Poland, 1935. My father Joel Perel turned to the profession of care for mentally disturbed children and juvenile criminals. Problems and solutions to abnormal and criminal behaviour were the usual topic at our dinner table for many years. My mother Esther was teaching elementary grades and kindergarten. This intellectual environment prepared me for analyzing human behaviour. I did not consider a teaching career. Engineering attracted me as practical and rewarding. No regrets. The massive gap between potential human productivity at the workplace and its actual productivity puzzled me since I set my foot on a production floor. I was still a student at the time. Later, along my engineering jobs, the puzzle haunted me and demanded an answer. In 1969, the answer to my puzzle suddenly emerged. It had been fifteen years in the making. I attempted to apply my solution, first at two consecutive production facilities where I worked. Then I attempted to set up one myself. All to no avail. My attempts afforded me some notoriety that prevented me from finding professional employment. I immigrated to Canada and after a while started to promote my solution here as well. On the negative side, two important General Managers, one in charge of two plants of Inglis and the other one in charge of fifteen plants of Domtar, lost their jobs when they dared to recommend my A-Option to their superiors. By contrast, the workers I met on picket lines and in the tube-production plant where I toiled for over three years did like my A-Option. The General Manager of this and two other tube-production plants of Jannock did understand me well, but he chickened out. I have no doubt someone will implement my A-Option, with or without me.
