Q

a.) Mechanization must result in more production at lower cost than the traditional method- to justify the equipment cost, divert displaced labor to more productive operations
b.) Mechanization must assist labor to overcome peak energy requirements which are excess of manpower available
c.) Mechanization must replace time and energy efficiently- should be less than those required with the use of hand tools
