Changes in the footwear manufacture process have brought abouttraceable and tangible mechanization in the industry.Though these machines still need men to make them function, they have tremendously brought down the workload and multiplied the production. Each machine is taken care of by a specialized person who performs the task with it and passes the shoe on to the next - almost like an assembly line production.
