Schippers and Crew Revenue and Competitors

The Crew switches to full time employment, stabilizing production schedules and increasing efficiency. As the Crew continues to grow, Bert and Lynne see their employees getting married, buying cars and homes, and starting families. They suddenly realize their greater burden of responsibility as employers for the continued survival and growth of the company to maintain the jobs their employees are relying upon. From the very beginning, statistics have been kept, charted and used to monitor the performance of the company. As the company grows and increases production for its customers, the weekly graph bars on the production chart reach higher and higher up the wall each month. Finally one month the bars reach the top of the wall, cross the ceiling, and hang down from the rafter! After this, a new graph scale has to be arranged.
