Abstract: The article discusses methods of quality control in the operations of a fine paper mill. Quality control involves statistical models as well as the arrangement of operations, psychology of personnel and structure of the organization. The application of a new paper cutting machine after 1959 led to quality control problems in a Wolvercote paper plant. Changes in operations to increase the number of paper sorters, primarily women, are discussed. Women inspectors were trained to oversee the sorters.
