Worn for the Record

How a Uniform Wear Trial Made Fit Evaluable

A paper from the School of Continuous Improvement follows one regional public-transport operator's uniform wear trial through fourteen months of observation, 187 returned scorecards and 31 interviews, and argues that the trial made fit evaluable by sampling its cohort from the outgoing contract's order book, scoring fit apart from comfort and appearance, and crediting home laundering to the garment. Its weighted result, 3.74 against 3.69 on a five-point scale, was minuted as a trial that did not discriminate, and the contract was decided on price.
