All together now: Piecework on an assembly line, Sudwind Agentur

In All Together Now by Südwind Agentur, Austria, different steps on an assembly line are playfully illustrated as students ‘manufacture' a shirt through folding, cutting, etc. Group members, one after another, carry out the task they are assigned to produce as many high-quality shirts as possible in the time available, in competition with other groups. The ‘supervisor' is responsible for quality control as well as maintaining pressure on the workers to complete the orders in time.
