Editing Workflow (section)

=== Maturation and growth ===
The invention of the [[typewriter]] and the [[copier]] helped spread the study of the rational organization of labor from the manufacturing shop floor to the office. Filing systems and other sophisticated systems for managing physical [[information]] flows evolved. Several events likely contributed to the development of formalized information workflows. First, the field of optimization theory matured and developed [[mathematical optimization]] techniques. For example, Soviet mathematician and economist [[Leonid Kantorovich]] developed the seeds of [[linear programming]] in 1939 through efforts to solve a plywood manufacturer's production optimization issues.<ref name="KatseneliboigenTheSoviet90">{{cite book |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=r3bYoKUYXaYC&pg=PA410 |chapter=Chapter 17: Nobel and Lenin Prize Laureate L.V.
