government, lent urgency to follow-on action.
The rapid
establishment of the Anglo-American Council on Productivity (AACP)
in 1948 was followed by a quick succession of British and French
Productivity Teams sent to counterpart U.S. plants.
The
Productivity Team reports which were quickly published and widely
disseminated confirmed the potential for substantial improvements
in production, operational methods, and management effectiveness
accompanied by prospective benefits in profits, wages and consumer
prices.
18.
Additional U.S. conducted sector surveys soon followed in
several other Western European countries. With the initial
precedents set by the British and French, similar Productivity
Teams from the other European nations were rapidly sent to the U.S.
They confirmed the British and French findings of substantial
productivity improvement potential. The stage was set for the rest
of Western Europe to seriously examine and undertake the option of
establishing National Productivity Improvement Drives.
19.
The eventual costs of the pioneering Marshall Plan
Productivity Assistance program to the U.S. and participating
Western European nations during the almost ten years from the start
of the program in 1948 is shown in Box 1. The unprecedented level
of technological transfer is also indicated by the number of
Productivity Teams, the number of European participants, and the
number of American specialists requested to assist in Europe.
