Church of Scientology Opens New In-plant
Custom Gear Reduces Labor
One reason for the cost savings is the custom-built equipment the in-plant uses, which is heavy on automation, thus reducing the amount of manual labor required. For example, one piece of equipment McClintock calls the "assembly machine" is a folder/gluer that has been adapted to assemble complex social betterment campaign packets. These are folders with fact sheets and booklets inserted into pockets, along with a DVD pressed onto a mount. The assembly machine does it all, with little manual intervention.
