Abstract

This paper describes three examples—the Chicago Subway, the Cleveland Ore Yard and the Newport News Shipway—where quite simple field observations led to substantial improvements. These projects were forerunners in the application of the observational method and they reveal how elemental theory and qualitative predictions form the essence of the observational method.
