BASIS FOR DETERMINING PLANTS TO RECEIVE THE AWARD

 

 

Every plant engaged in the production of war materials and
equipment, and all war construction projects are eligible for the
Army-Navy Production Award. Large or small plants, prime or sub-
contractors, may win the Award.

Award nominations are made by the War Department, Navy
Department, War Production Board, Treasury Department or War Food
pied sibkiies That agency with the largest contractual interest
in the plant initiates the nomination through its field representative
or procurement officer in the district where the plant is located.

The nominations are then forwarded to the Washington headquarters of
these agencies, and, if approved, transmitted to the cognizant Board.

Quality and quantity of production in the light of avail-
able facilities are prime factors in selecting awardees. Other factors
considered include: (1) overcoming of production obstacles, (2) avoid-
ance of stoppages, (3) maintenance of fair labor standards, (l) train-
ing of additional labor forces, (5) effective management, (6) good
record on accidents, health, sanitation, and plant protection, (7)
utilization of sub-contracting facilities, (8) cooperation between
management and labor as it affects production, (9) conservation of
critical and strategic materials, and (10) a low rate of absenteeism.

Selection of Army-Navy Production Award recipients on
the part of the Navy is made by the Navy Board for Production Awards.
