Most managers now take them quite seriously, have lately started to solicit suggestions from engineers and supervisors as well as clerks and production workers. Companies accept some 30% of the suggestions, save an estimated $200 million a year from the ideas they take out of the box. Says Douglas Aircraft President Donald W.
