company to maintain production levels with fewer workers. 1 Capacity is also affected by the age of machinery. According to industry sources, because of LBOs, .. gear producers have not invested in machinery to the same extent as major competitors, such as West Germany and Japan. During 1-8, .. gear producers limited their investment and used existing machinery. About 1 percent of total metal-cutting machine tools in the .. industry was less than 5 years old in 1, as compared with 1 percent in 1. For gear-cutting and finishing machine tools, the share was smaller, approximately 5 percent in 1, falling from 7 percent in 1. similar difference in age of machine tools in the 5-to-9 year age bracket between total metal-cutting machine tools and gear-cuffing and finishing machine tools is apparent. For gear cutting and finishing machine tools, the greatest drop was in the te Industry sources indicate that new hires can be trained to perform assembly operations in as little as 2 weeks, depending upon the complexity of the product. 1 See ch. 4, "Structural Change." ' The estimate of five machines is used because such machines may not be used in the most efficient manner; however, industry sources indicate that one NC or CNC machine could replace as many as eight old manually operated machine tools. 4-9 Table 4-8 Number of .. machine tools and gear-cutting and gear-finishing machine tools, by age, 1 and 1 Year/item Age of machine tools Total 0-4 years 5-9 years 1-1 years 2 years and over 1: Metal-cutting machine Number tools 2,8 3,2 5,5 5.2 1,7,8 NC machine tools 4,5 2,8 1,1 5,1 9,7 Gear-cutting/finishing machine tools' 2,4 3,8 1,1 1,4 3,8 1: Metal-cutting machine tools 2,1 4,6 6,8 4,0 1,8,7 NC machine tools 7,2 6,6 4,4 8,8 1,0 Gear-cutting/finishing machine tools 1,3 2,0 1,6 1,4 2,5 NC gear-cutting/ finishing machine tools 4 9 8 1 8 Percent of totaP 1: Metal-cutting machine tools 1.2 2.2 3.6 3.1 1.
