About Luise Ermisch
- Luise Ermisch (born Luise Thürmer; 20 May 1916 in Halle – 17 January 2001 in Mühlhausen (Thuringia) was a German political activist and later a senior politician in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany), who balanced her political career with an ongoing involvement in the clothing industry. She became known for the "Luise Ermisch Method" ("Luise-Ermisch-Methode"), an approach to industrial production involving detailed planning that subdivided the manufacturing process into individual work station segments and allowed for quantity and quality of output to be precisely measured, evaluated, bench-marked and attributed.
- The resulting statistical output could be used to feed a system of incentives and rewards.
- Because East Germany operated with a centrally directed economy, it was possible to disseminate the "Luise Ermisch Method" relatively easily.
