During his interview, Bob George first details his father’s career. His father was a DuPont employee in the Textile Fibers Department during the 1940s through the 1960s. He then describes his own career, which started in the Industrial Engineering (IE) section at Martinsville, and he details the IE organization within plant’s operations. He comments that the 30 engineers in the section were responsible for cost savings, cost analysis, and labor. IE held significant manufacturing control at the plant. He then describes the spinning operations in type 8B and the people he encountered in the late 1970s after he transferred to manufacturing.

He then details the approach the plant took when a major sales downturn created a labor surplus in 1976 and 1977. This process became the "X-Y" system, and George credits the process as one of the primary factors in the plant’s survival. George names the people involved in the process and remarks that it was also implemented at the Waynesboro and Richmond plants in Virginia. He then discusses the progression and labor systems in place at DuPont’s largescale plants and nylon manufacturing processes.

He describes his later role as market manager, outlining the warp knit domestic market and the creation of a new market and joint venture in Japan. He also details his work in benchmarking and his experience as a Fellow in Residence as part of a DuPont partnership with Penn State University.
