He mentioned that slow economic conditions in several countries had adversely affected 'Ofal shipments of Canadian asbestos fibres in the first eight months of this year -- down 8*8% -- however, total sales of spinning fibres were up about 1% in that period. Group 4 fibres for use in asbestos-cement products were off, as were spinning fibre sales in Italy, France and Germany* Japan has made a good recovery. Th em bargo on Rhodesian fibre continues* However, some Rhodesian is reaching markets thru a third country. Ra4ny introduced Dr. Clinton II. Whitehurst, Jr., Headueptm of Industrial Managemmt, Clemson University, Clemson, S.C.. wh gave a most interesting t lk entitled: "Operations Research Techniques". We were privileged indeed to have the opportunity to h*ar Dr* Whitehurst, a well-kn wn authority in the field of 8243 NOTE: THIS DOCUMENT-BID NOT COME FROM PPG FiLES Minutes - General Meeting - continued: Page -3- Industrial Management. An abstract of his talk follows: ABSTRACT "It is profoundly erroneous truism, repeated by all copy books and `by eminent people when they are making speeches, that we should cul tivate the habit of thinking of what we are doing* The precise opposite is the case* Civilization advances by extending the number of important opera tions which we can perform without thinking about them." The above quotation by Alfred North Whitehead was both an introduc tion and, in fact, a summary of the address "Operations Research Techniques" delivered by Dr* C.H* Whitehurst of Clemson University before the Asbestos Textile Institute at Hilton Head, South Car lina on October 6, 1967* In specific terms the address covered in capsule form ten OR t chniques that eould be utilized in a typical industrial organization* Each technique was illustrated by a simple example designed to show its r>otential as an aid to management decision making. Included were examples making use of linear programming, Markov proces es, econometrics, multiple graphic correlation analysis, input-output models, matrix algebra, industrial dynamics, and a Monte Carlo simu lation model* In each case the relevance of the technique to com-, puter programming was emphasized* The large number of techniques discussed was made possible by dis tributing handouts to the audience which contained the specific ex ample, relevant technique, and at least one library reference* The handouts together with explanatory illustrations on an easel board was successful in imparting the potential for OR analysis in a frm*s operations-. 7* Jack Christian, President of Cassiar Asbestos Corporation Ltd., wrote the Secretary prior to this meeting that neither he nor Tom Tiggert would be able to attend due to the fact that their new Clinton mine, at Clinton Creek, B.C*, was due to start production and they would be busy there* President Rainey asked Mr. Wm.j.w. Smith, Bell Asbestos *ines Limited, sales representatives for Cassiar, to tell us something about the new mine* Mr. Smith said the Clinton Jdne is 600 to 700 miles north of tb pre sent Cassiar mine, close to the border of Alaska* Problem of trans porting fibre is somewhat similar to shipments from Cassiar* The t^pe of fibre from the Clinton ;.*ine is generally similar to Cassiar fibre, but there could be some considerable differences* There art both long and short fibres - but Clinton will produce primarily #4 Group fibres, and a secondary grade will be Group 5* Because yield from ore is never precisely known in advance, Mr* Smith stated thai perhaps grades may be produced, other than those presentlyiantici pated* 71 THIS DOCUMENT WAS NOT A RECORD OF --/"I PPG INDUSTRIES, INC.
