Orville Redenbacher Quotes

Don't reinvent the wheel, just realign it.

The key to making things affordable is design and technology improvements, as well as scale.

I think that an industrial process is not like a rubber stamp. Everything has to be put together and, as such, should have its own expression.

In the long run all producers are forced to use the most efficient methods or give place to others who do.

Technology makes things faster and more cost-effective, but it's not perfect. It requires you to be as flexible as you can be.

Whether you're a programmer or a seamstress, it's all about new techniques, simplifying old techniques, and consolidating steps. Making things go faster - but not worse.

Manufacturing all over the world has the benefit of efficiency. That's great. I support it.

F1's ability to problem-solve is second to none and our ability to make rapid prototype parts is again second to none.

All of technology, really, is about maximizing free options.

Process innovation is different from product innovation. It's about how do you create a new product or develop a new product or manufacture a new product, but not a new product itself?

Manufacturing is more than just putting parts together. It's coming up with ideas, testing principles and perfecting the engineering, as well as final assembly.

I just find things that work and embellish them.

Industrialization of the building trade is a question of material. Hence the demand for a new building material is the first prerequisite.

The most efficient way to produce anything is to bring together under one management as many as possible of the activities needed to turn out the product.

With production alone as the goal, industry in North America was dominated by the assembly line, standardization for mass consumption.

We're reviewing everything to see how we can do it better, faster, and more efficiently.

The most efficient labor-saving device is still money.

Some areas of technology really don't interest me at all, but I welcome anything that makes life easier instead of harder.

Engineering or technology is all about using the power of science to make life better for people, to reduce cost, to improve comfort, to improve productivity, etc.

I am inclined to attach some importance to the new system of manufacturing; and venture to throw it out with the hope of its receiving a full discussion among those who are most interestedin the subject.

I was running an assembly line designed to build memory chips. I saw the microprocessor as a bloody nuisance.

If you don't understand how to run an efficient operation, new machinery will just give you new problems of operation and maintenance. The sure way to increase productivity is to better administrate man and machine.

I have learned to do more with less, so you don't see the big books anymore.

I got to get the right people in the right job. Because a lot of costs can be taken out in the context of your administration without the legislature. For example, using technology to do more with less. Using technology to fight fraud. Reorganizing and streamlining can be done within the context of the administration.

What was worked out at Ford was the practice of moving the work from one worker to another until it became a complete unit, then arranging the flow of these units at the right time and the right place to a moving final assembly line from which came a finished product.
